Question

Which statement best explains why the public school system created during Reconstruction was both a success and a failure?

Answer 1

The correct answer is: "It allowed all southern children to get an education, but segregation made it expensive."

The Southern states before the Civil War counted with a comprehensive education system, but only for white children. Subsequently, the foundation of public schools in theses state took place during the Reconstruction era. It was a sucess because the right to education started to be provided in a public and universal manner. Every children could have access to education.

The failure is related to the implementation of a public but segregated educational system under the principle "separate but equal". Such a system,  apart from the discriminatory and racist implications, was more costly as every facility had to be duplicated.
