The PBS website, School: The Story of American Public Education:

• I like how this website invites the reader to click on "Then & Now" categories regarding schools to see how they have evolved.
• Key topics from the Colonial era: books, discipline, furniture, heating, homework, lighting, school lunch and slate & slate pencils.
• Comparisons are brief but gives reader a feel of how schools originally were like.
• SCHOOL: The Story of American Public Education, is a dramatic four-part documentary series that chronicles the development of our nation’s public education system from the late 1770s to the 21st century. Meryl Streep was the narrator of this 2001 documentary.
