Horace Mann insisted that free, universal public education, paired with well-educated teachers, was the best way to ensure that the nation’s children became upstanding citizens.
Horace Mann’s Six Principles of Education
- Citizens cannot maintain both ignorance and freedom
- This education should be paid for, controlled, and maintained by the public
- This education should be provided in schools that embrace children from varying backgrounds
- This education must be nonsectarian
- This education must be taught using tenets of a free society
- This education must be provided by well-trained, professional teachers.
