It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get an education, evertheless. it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to

^*^'iôol. The difference between schooling and education implied bv this remark is 'mportant.

Education is much more open - ended and all - inclusive than schooling, ducation knows no limits. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or 'lie j o b , whether in the kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal

learning that takes place in school and the whole universe o f informal learning. The agent (doer) o f education can vary from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on the radio, from a child to a famous scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known o f other religions. People receive education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term; it is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start o f school, and one that should be a necessary part o f one's entire life.

Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalilzed process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same time, take the assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The pieces o f reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding o f the workings o f governments, have been limited by the subjects being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process o f schooling.

A t the beginning o f the nineteenth century, the American educational system was desperately in need o f reform. Private schools existed, but only for the very rich. There were very few public schools because o f the strong sentiment that children who would grow up to be laborers should not "waste" their time on education but should instead prepare themselves for their life's work. It was in the face o f this public sentiment that educational reformers set about their task. Horace Mann, probably the most famous o f the reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated. As Superintendent o f Education in the state o f Massachesetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various changes, which were soon matched in other schooldistricts around the country. He extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality o f teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries. Although these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system, they at least increased public awareness as to the need for a further strengthening o f the system.
