Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Confucius' academy had the aim of educating officials for the imperial
government. There were clear standards for admission and for a period of training before students became government officials. Students learned forms of polite and ethical behavior. A well-defined system of classroom management was established, as were proper relationships between student and teacher. Tradition and the concept of hierarchical relationships were emphasized.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: The reasons for limitations should focus on the cultural view of women and citizens of lower socioeconomic status. Over time, the cultural view of these groups changed, thus creating subsequent changes in educational opportunities. The various types of schools in the chapter could be described in terms of the purpose of schooling, who could attend, and what the curriculum included.
