[edit]

"Education in 18th century United States" is an ambiguous heading because the American colonies did not truly become the United States until 1789 (passage of Constitution). Also, this article covers the 17c as well as the 18c. I recommend renaming it "Education in colonial America" or "Education in 17th and 18th century British North America." I prefer the former, which is common usage; the latter is precise but clunky. Drfryer 01:45, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Public school systems existed mostly only in New England for which they would teach kids for up to 24 hours a day up to 7 days a week." They were open all day every day? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.201.198.229 (talk) 17:27, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

oh it got worse: there was no recess or lunch time and no sleep. Rjensen (talk) 17:53, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
