I thought it was interesting how the author interviewed someone as one of his/her sources. It is always intriguing to listen to another person's perspective as to how things evolved over time and their opinions about it. Although the learning targets were met, I would've liked to have seen more references to support and expand upon those learning targets vs. just an interview. I think it was a great idea and informative, I just wish it wasn't the author's only idea. After reading what I did, it did allow me to realize just how far our society has come in the world of education. We are fortunate to have so much at our fingertips this day and age in comparison to our ancestors. Rpaige (talk) 20:01, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Learning about the history of education is very interesting. It seems like one trend that drove the development of our educational system was the population moving to the cities during industrialization. One would expect that our cities would be leading the nation in education. If education started because of the cities, why are they not handling their school systems better? Inner cities should have the most experience in educating children. Jtmitchem (talk) 01:28, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
