@MrZachG People block for all sorts of reasons and it's none of my business as to why you've chosen to today. If, however, you'd ever like to discuss scripts, I'm happy to chat.

Interesting find while searching for something else. From the Lawton (Oklahoma) Constitution, 1939.

'Dr. Clayton rose from being a 4th-grade teacher in North Philadelphia to running what was then the country’s 5th-largest school system. She served as superintendent until her retirement in 1993'

I love that this starts with the story of one such school in NYS. As far as I know, there are still at least 5 schools/districts in the state that count as "one-room schoolhouses."

🖍️Are your #BackToSchool crayons rolling around all over the place? Inventors have a long history of patenting new & improved school supplies. Check out this Educational Device from 1909, a Crayon Receptacle from 1917, and this Crayon Carton and Sharpener patented in 1957!

Most young people do not have a clue what this is. Do you know?

This piece by @DrewDeSilver is a great summary of how summer vacations fall across the country and serves as a useful reminder that there is no such thing as an American education system.

And a tip of the hat to the EI5 mods! They removed jerky comments fairly quickly and run a tight ship over there!

[Daisy Christodoulou @daisychristo]

The 1870 Education establishes state education in England.

It also splits the Liberal party, gives women the vote, helps create the Daily Mail & inspires a minor indie band of the earliest 21st century.

ICYMI: AskHistorians is back in business (at least for now...), and we even have a Sunday Digest to prove it!

More broadly, you are now welcome to ask and answer new questions about the human past.

I could have written 10,000 words about revolt, revolution, and resistance in education but limited myself to a few hundred.

[AskHistorians @askhistorians]

The act of revolt is common to the human experience & in the spirit of our current lockdown protesting Reddits planned actions, we are inviting #Twitterstorians to write about instances of revolt, rebellion, revolution & resistance. Key historical context!
