The correct answer is C) Children had to work with parents, to help their families survive.
In the early years of America, the education of children was not much of a priority because children had to work with parents, to help their families survive.
At the beginning of the American colonies, life was not easy for the European colonists in North America. Since the first colony founded in America, Jamestown, Virginia, colonists had to work very hard in order to make a living under difficult conditions such as being in a new land, having to relate to the Native American Tribes, learn how they got their food in those places, and many other reasons. That is why in the early years of America, the education of children was not much of a priority because children had to work with parents, to help their families survive.
