Schooling has changed drastically through out history. Debates about how schooling should be done has been has been the ongoing reason why schools have changed. During the time of the puritans Schools were supported only by the community, instead of school systems being managed by the state. Debates have been held over who was going to be able to attend schools or the same type of schooling, from SES to race. The materials that have been taught in schools has changed over time. Debates have sprung out of many of the contents within the material do to cultural, scientific, and religious beliefs, many of the content issues are still being argued about today.
During the time of the puritans Protestant Christianity was top priority to teach students. As time progressed there was a more broad variety in what subjects were taught such as mathematics, language art, and social studies. During the 80's more science was taught in schools. The teachings of sciences really conflicted with religion, which was already being pushed out of schools. Even today people are arguing that against certain aspects of sciences such as evolution.
