Before I give the answer, I want you to consider what the law was.

If the community was just over 50 families, the community was obligated to hire a teacher

Over one hundred families, and they were obligated to build a 1 room school house as well.

The reading materials were scarce. I book of any description had to serve the teacher. I guess you could celebrate the fact that homework was virtually impossible. The curriculum for the girls was reading and arithmetic, and very little of that. Abagail Adams noted the fact that maybe they would be taught music and dance. She was an extremely intelligent woman: you should look up what she wrote to John when he was helping write the constitution. Her spelling and grammar should have been edited. But she did not need any help with her thinking. If you can find that letter asking for women's rights, you should read it. She's a full century and some ahead of her time.
