Introduction
This essay is intended to analyze educational history in order to understand how our educational system came to be. We need to discover the good that may have been lost from the past, as well as the poor choices that were made at certain forks in the road.
I take a traditional approach to interpretation of history and make judgments of actions and condemn immoral choices. While there is no such thing as perfection, whether in the historic choices made by previous generations or my analysis and judgments in this work, it is through the Great Conversation taking place over millennia that we draw closer to truths that serves every individual.
