Answer:

The Puritans were the first in this country to point out the need for some kind of public education. They established schools to teach not just the essentials-reading, writing and math- but also to reinforce their core values. ... They began calling for free, compulsory school for every child in the nation.

The idea began to spread that childhood should be a time for learning, and schools for children were developed as places of learning. ... In America, in the mid 17th century, Massachusetts became the first colony to mandate schooling, the clearly stated purpose of which was to turn children into good Puritans.
