"It is true, there was no public-school system, and the reason for it was very plain. The wealth of the upper classes enabled them to have private tutors"

About this Quote

This quote by John Sergeant Wise is referring to the absence of a public-school system in the past. He describes that the factor for this is because the rich upper classes had the methods to hire personal tutors for their kids. This indicated that the kids of the wealthy had access to education, while the children of the lower classes did not. This created a big space in instructional chances in between the classes, and this space has actually been difficult to close even in modern times. This quote highlights the significance of public education and the requirement for equal access to education for all kids, despite their social class. It also functions as a tip of the importance of purchasing public education in order to make sure that all kids have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
