Education in the older days is shown through Huck's life in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. At the beginning of the book, Huck is going to school and obeying the wishes of the Widow. He also attends Sunday School and learns about religion. As the book continues, Huck doesn't return to school and runs away with Jim. His life experience is what helps him makes his decisions throughout the book.
Governor Baldachi is trying to consolidate the schools in the state of Maine. The purpose of this task it to save money. Several years ago MSAD #48 had trouble passing the budget. Many people wanted to cut classes, positions and extra curricular activities to save money.
Education is important to our society. Its hard to get a job with only a high school diploma. Many businesses only hire college graduates. Colleges are offering more financial aid and scholarships so more people can attend college.
More classes are being offered. Electives such as foreign languages and music classes are being offered to anyone that wants to take them. During Huck's time, education was only offered to white people. As you can see, education has become extremely important to our society.
