User:Diligent Terrier/List of homeschooled individuals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Note: In the West, compulsory education arose between the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th in the German states of Gotha, Calemberg and, particularly, Prussia.[1] The first compulsory education law in the American colonies was established in Massachusetts in 1852. In 1918 Mississippi was the last state to enact a compulsory attendance law.[2] Therefore, people educated before that era are not listed here.
