Who Invented 

By:Nevaeh Mackerley

Who invented school, homework and tests? Those questions every kid wants to know because who likes them not me! Here is who invented these things….. 

Homework: Homework is thought to have been invented by an Italian educator from the 19th century, Roberto Nevilis. He introduced this conception to expand the use of education outside the borders of a classroom. Because a formal educational style was being structured at that time, he saw the need for the students to go back and reinforce what they had learned.

School:The person who is considered to have invented the concept of school is Horace Mann. Born in 1796, Mann was a pioneer of educational reforms in the US State of Massachusetts. After he became Secretary of Education in 1837, he undertook one of the biggest education reforms in American history.

Tests: However, an American businessman named Henry Fischel developed and structured exams for specialized objectives in the late 19th century.

Now we know who created these things and why. Maybe next time you take a test right Henry's name on DON´T do that I don't need to be in trouble. I hope you had fun reading this or not.
