Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Both reports addressed the goals and curriculum of secondary schools, which served to expand educational opportunity. Answers could include details on both of these areas. Many school districts were influenced by these reports and made adjustments in their secondary programs consistent with the reports' recommendations.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: The academy was a private secondary school, whereas the common school was a public elementary school. The common school focused on reading, writing, spelling, and arithmetic and had a very practical orientation. Its purpose was to integrate children from various backgrounds into the broad American community and to be a social equalizer that would allow citizens to climb the educational ladder.
