Answer 2

In early Connecticut, towns with 70 families had to have a school for six months a year. Students did not have to attend school for all six months, but the schools had to be there in case they wanted to attend. The churches ran the schools, and religion was an important part of education. The West Division had several schoolhouses in the 1770s, so most students walked less than a mile or two to school.

Girls didn't go to school after sixth-grade and boys stayed until the eighth and many didn't attend college. Religion was an important topic and education revolved around it,
