I am a Christian and do not disagree with the author. But every time you plead your case. The opposite argument should always be presented. This article fails to do so. In fact, he makes many statements like this: “In light of our current educational systems, the idea of ​​Church-controlled education may appear to some to be inefficient. However, the pioneering work carried out in Virginia under the direction of the Established Church serves4 as a good example for the American educational ideal” (Duffy, 1946). That said, this thesis was well written and offers an in-depth look at colonial schools. It also illustrates how ideas from England came to the new world and walks you through transforming these ideas into something new. The new ideas were not entirely original. But, a combination of English and colonial ideology. In conclusion, all three articles did a good job of educating the reader about Virginia's history of education. Even if some writings seemed partial. The reader is still able to walk away with a good idea of ​​what schools were like for children and how they came to be. They also painted a picture of a strong desire to teach all young people. The only missing element, which I would have liked to read about, was education for blacks during the colonial period
