1           For generations in the United States, a nineteenth century

       invention known as the public school system was seen as

       the best way to give students the knowledge and skills to

       become nice citizens. Around the 1960s, experts began

5     questioning the system, citing the need for new types of

       schools to meet the changing demands of the twentieth

       century. These reformers eventually won for parents a much

       broader range of educational choices – including religious,

       alternative, and charter schools and home schooling – but they

10   also sparked a debate on teaching and learning that still

       divides experts to this day.
