    Thomas Jefferson considered basic education as a key component to protecting freedom, virtues and happiness for Americans it aids the individual "know his rights" and "understand his duties". In 1785, he published his book Notes on the State of Virginia, he proposed that taxpaying citizens would supply the means for education; communities would organize the schooling. The ideas he advocated held true. Our liberties depends upon offering a quality education to the generations to come.

    His plan consisted on three stages for the education of children:

    primary schools: all children, irrespective of the parents economic capacity, would be qualified to go, no less than three years.

    Intermediate schools: for those who exceeded primary school, and for kids whose parents were able to pay for.

    Finally, the university: for students whose parents were eager to pay.

    Sadly, Jefferson had little success regarding his attempt to change the education system.
