, 04:03, July 19, 2014→Parochial Schools: Merriam-Webster says that the term "parochial school" started in 1755, and that seems about right.
Andy, you are century or two off with your “parochial schools” edit. At least as far back as the early 1600s Scotland was using a system, whereby all parishes were to operate parochial schools to teach basic literacy and Biblical knowledge to the children of the parish. As you know; “parochial” is the adjective of “parish”.

This was a long time before the concept, let alone the reality, of ‘public schools” came into being. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 23:22, 18 July 2014 (EDT)

:Public schools started early in colonial Massachusetts, well before the United States was formed. I don't doubt your history about Scotland, but the term "parochial school" is in contrast with "public schools." Merriam-Webster says that the term "parochial school" started in 1755, and that seems about right.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:03, 19 July 2014 (EDT)
