IMPROVED ANSWER (Countryboy8124):
The early 1900's brought far-reaching changes for education in the United States. A number of educators in the 1800's paved the way for these reforms. Margaretha Schurz, wife of political leader Carl Schurz, opened the nation's first private kindergarten in 1856, in Watertown, Wisconsin. William T. Harris, helped establish the nation's first public kindergarten in St. Louis, Missouri in 1873.
Kindergartens used play and creative activities as teaching methods.
Francis W. Parker, an Illinois educator, adopted these methods for use in elementary schools. The teaching methods of the 1800's stressed memorization and discipline. Parker believed that education's goal should be the complete development of all children, and more freedom was needed to achieve this goal.
Parker and other educators broadened elementary school courses by adding such subjects as geography, history, and science.
The new theories of education influenced educators that the schools had not kept up with changes in society. These educators proposed that teachers adopt such methods as field trips, group discussions, and creative activities to help prepare children for life in a democracy. John Dewey and William H. Kilpatrick were two of the principle supporters of such ideas, which became known a progressive education.
Joliet Junior College, the nation's oldest junior college, opened in Joliet, Illinois, in 1901. About 1910, several cities in the United States established the first junior high schools. Vocational education began with the passage of the Smith-Hughes Act of 1917. The act granted the states federal funds for vocational education in the fields of agriculture, home economics, and industrial arts.

Schools were limited through the 1800's and usually taught by males, at the turn of the century education was provided to all, unfortunately the discrimination was not only racial but economical and females were not considered very bright. Children with mental and physical disabilities could be refused an education. Most educators used an Authoritarian Approach, humiliation and corporal punishment were acceptable teaching strategies Essential intelligence test were originally designed for the Armed Forces, became a tool for determining a child's Intelligence. As Research became popular, different theories were established, Constitutional Amendments changed the way America established educational practices check out Jean Piaget, his ideas still are thought to accurate on child development, PL Law 94-142 began the movement to protect students with disabilities which is now I.D.E.A. and the foundation for No Child Left Behind.

∙ 13y agothe education between 1750 - 1900 is not much difference to 1500.
they had a few more schools around a slightly better learning environments.
the schools were still for mostly boys as girls were still learning house work
there were still not many people going because they couldn't afford the money for it.
so it was better than 1500s but still very poor.
