Ideals of American Education As many people as possible should have access to as much education as they want an outcome of the American’s assertions (主张、断言、声明) about equality equality in education does not mean that everyone receives the same education The Child placed in a lower-ability group does not receive the same education as one placed in a higher-ability group Producing a society of literacy and local control education governed by state and local governments, not by the national government; no national ministry of education each state has its own laws regulating education Emphasis on the basic nature of knowledge and learning Scholars and students should work to discover new information or conceive (构思、设计) new ways to understand what is already known; Learning is an enterprise of exploration, experimentation, analysis, and synthesis; The goal of education is to teach children how to learn and help them reach their maximum potential.
