Same Education
Horace Mann also introduced same education anywhere in the United States. If a student was to move their education will be the same. If the student was learning at a second grade level and moved mid year the student will still be learning at a second grade level until that student has passed. This is still used today due to families constantly moving we must keep the same curriculum in the grade levels. -
