Answer by George
Thomas Jefferson’s Ideas for Education of the People

Thomas Jefferson believed that universal education would have to precede extending the vote to women.. The ignorant, he argued, were incapable of self-government. However, his commitmentt to reason and teaching of the masses was greater than his concern for universal suffrage. He thought that when the common people could be taught, they gained in collective reasoning and wisdom. He also believed that the schools should teach reading, writing, and arithmetic. Also, the children should learn about Grecian, Roman, English, and American History.

The first law was passed in Massachusetts, the Old Satan Deluder Act of 1647, to reaffirm the colonial laws by which towns were required to support a school. This law was ignored,and private schools were opened only to those who could afford to pay for them. In the middle states, religious groups opened most of the schools. Not many schools or institutions were opened to the working people or the poor people. The women, African blacks, and Indians were not able to go to school. It was not until the early 1900’s that the nation began making academies for females. The reasons to educate females was because government thought that it needed to have educated mothers to educate their children. Jefferson believed in the “Republican Mother” who took care and educated her children. Later, many 19th century reformers believed in the power of education to reform and redeem, to release from blame or debt, to free the less fortunate people from poverty and degradation. Reformers then generated an interest in Indian Education. Jefferson and his followers believed that the Native Americans were noble people, but they still were savages. People hoped that integrating the Indians into the white culture would help to improve the spiritual, social, or intellectual conditions in the Indian tribes. But the states and local governments did nearly nothing to support education.

Jefferson believed that universal education The uneducated , he argued, were incapable of self-government. But he had strong beliefs in the reasonableness and teachableness terriblenesse people. He believed that they gained collective wisdom when they were educated. He also believed that the schools should teach reading, writing, and arithmetic. And, he advocated that children should learn about Grecian, Roman, English, and American History. Jefferson believed the nation needed public schools scattered around, for all male citizens to receive free education. The first law, the Satan Deluder Act of 1647 was passed in Massachusetts to reaffirm the colonial laws by which towns were obligated to support a school. However, this law was ignored. Private schools were opened only to those who could afford to pay for them. In the middle states, religious groups opened most schools. Not many schools or institutions were opened to the indigent people.

Unlike the women and Indians, African blacks had no support at all. There were no efforts to educate enslaved African blacks. Plantation owners preferred to have African blacks remain ignorant and this presumably less likely to rebel. Furthernore by 1815, there were thirty secondary private schools in Massachusetts, thirty-seven in New York, and many others scattered all around the nation. They were mostly aristocratic, and few of therm were public schools. Higher education similarly diverged from Republican ideals. The number of colleges and universities in America steadily increased. The number went from nine during the time of the American Revolution to twenty-two in 1800. However, discrimination also increased, but this time was against Caucasians. There was scarcely more than one white man in a thousand that had access to any colleges. Those few who did attend colleges were almost always members of prosperous, propertied families.

Jefferson strongly believed that the nation’s future depended on the nation’s education. In 1782, he said that he believed that in order for people to trust the people who were in charge of the government. People in the government needed to have some education to be able to make decisions based on their knowledge. He emphasized the point that in order for the people to want a free nation and greater change to occcur, they needed to have some education. If they did not want an education, then they were going to dream always and never achieve what they dreamed of having.

For the less wealthy people to also have some education, Thomas Jefferson found that the nation needed to have public schools. He wanted for the poor and rich to have education, not only for themselves, but also for the nation’s future.
