Since the start of the colonies public schools have been a feature of the American educational system. It has provided for children of all walks of life and living conditions. It began as early as 1635 with the Boston Latin School. Yet, the constitution also provides for the freedom of religion so this means that religions can have have private schools. Parents that can afford to send their children to a private school as opposed to a public school can do so. This is why there are Catholic schools and public schools.
