History, Politics, and Education
Horace Mann advocated that a primary social goal of schooling is to provide moral
instruction to children in order to reduce the crime rate. Today, prominent social goals of
school are to promote morals and character education, to improve children’s health and
nutrition and to also create school communities through extracurricular activities, afterschool programs and school spirit (Spring, 2018). Many initiatives have been designed to
promote the social goals of school, ranging from character education programs, programs
designed to educate us on bullying, and cyberbullying, programs designed to improve
school nutrition, programs designed to prevent drug and alcohol abuse, and
extracurricular activities.
