The Progressive Era was a period of great reform for our country. So far we have covered a good amount of these reforms. Which reform that we learned about do you feel was the most important? Why? After you have answered my questions you may comment on what other people have said. However, make only well thought out responses and be respectful of one another!!!

Actually I think that all of them sound good. I especially support any president who opposes war, like Hillary Clinton.She opposes s.s. marriage but supports civil unions. And she'd be the first woman president. But I wish everyone luck.
The reform that we learned about that I feel it is the most important is when John Dewey gave more education and better teachers to children or students. If he hadn't reform our education, we wouldn't be as smart as today and there wouldn't be no more outside learning instead of memorizing.
Because of him, we have fun at the same time learn more.
A reform that we learned about was about how strict education was.
Back then, the teachers were very strict to the students. They couldn't get out of their seats or
if they were bad, the teachers would hurt them. They would go home and tell their parents and the parents would spank them more harder.
The AMA was pretty useful; health is very important. The educational reform by John Dewey was very important too. Because of it we now can learn in a good environment.
I Agree with alexh806 because reforming education is very important and if he didnt do what he did we wouldnt be as smart as we were today
My thoughts are, everything that changed was a good thing. It gave people more freedom. Basicly help everyone too. Improve the food, now they check it and see if it is clean. The education the way kids were learning had also changed, instead of just memorizing what the teachers says, we can actually give our own ideas.
I agree with anthony on this reform. Even though the the teachers were strict to the kids they had no right to abuse a child.
*A word from the class: Please proof read your comments and please stop posting nonsense because it is only taking up spaces. Thank you.*
i agree with anthonyc806 because back in the days the education was very very strict and the students would behave good of the strict policy so they were very smart
now the students are more free to do what ever they want but instead some are more uneducated and like others they have bad behavior.
One of the reforms that I think was very important was the John Dewey because students would have to memorize the classes and work they did. As Alex said John Dewey gave more education instead of memorizing all of your work.
i agree with alexh806 about the John Dewey reform being most important because he gave better education and teachers to to students. If he didnt reform our education, we wouldnt be smart like we are today.
the reform that i think is the best would have to be the meat inspection act of 1906 because it was a way to have cleanner food and have less poeple to get sick. because it required inspection to all animals before they were slaughtered, made it better for all the peoples health.
thats my opinion ;]]
The most reform i liked is the labor organization because unions fought for better working contians and higher pay.
I think the direct primary made a big impact on society during the progessive era. It allowed voters to choose their own candidates for office. This way peole could vote for candidates that they want to be president, not candidates that were selected by political bosses.
I think that John Dewey’s reform against education. If it wasn't for John Dewey then we would still have to memories the stuff we learned and we wouldn’t be as intelligent as we are today.

I think the direct primary is the most important reform. Without this reform the government would be corrupted. Since the boss decides the candidate, that candidate would allow the boss to have a free pass to do illegal stuff.
I'd like to add that I agree with several people who said that the Meat Inspection Act of 1906 was important. Now we (mostly!) don't have to worry about getting gross stuff like human fingers or rat pieces in our hamburgers!
i agree with alex becuase the john dewey education mad it better for kids to learn what the teachers teach. i think that because when the kids just memorize things they could forget, but if they have notes they could go home and study!
I Think that the jo9hn dewey rofrorm was the best because he made kids actually think and not just be paper for teachers to write all over
all so he has a school so hes like awesome
I agree with theresa on the meat inspacetion because people have been getting there fingers cut off and peolpe have been eating that. It is pretty gross how the fingers are fixed into the meat and people just eat it without noticing.
The most important reform was Robert La Follete. He created the Winsconsin Idea. One of the best reforms in the Winsconsin Idea was the decrease of power in political machines and bosses. Now the election of presidents will no longer rely on political machines.
i think the most important reform was John Dewey's education refrom because some of the people who make the world what it is today would not have been smart enough to do this.
the most important reform that was the most important was when they created the food and drug act of 1906 because now that they had created a ac passed, people can be safer. People were more safer. Food were inspected before passed put to people.Doctors had license and drug needs to be prescibed by doctors. You cannot buy the drugs by yourself. I like this act because now people had real doctors and food were cleaner.
Besides the education the food act was imporant same as the school policy. If we didin't have the food act we wouldn't be so healthy and would not live up to this long.
one of the reforms i like the best was the one for better working conditions. i fell this is the best reform because that meant that their were no children workers and that not alot of people would get hurt while working long hours.
I agree with gustavop806's comment because now the people could elect the candidates they think are the best and not have political parties choose whoever they want without the public's opinion on which candidate is better, cooperative, and honest.
the meat inspection act of 1906 also was important because it helped the society by keeping the food clean so less people were getting sick.
I feel that the most important reform that we have discussed is when John Dewey gave us the opprotunity to have a better education by granting us better teachers and more education.I think now in this time we get a better education because of what John dewey did.
Michael,the school policy was as important as the meat inspection because without our education,we wouldn't know how to Inspect the meat in the first place.
one of the reformes I thought was improtant was the Meat Inspection Act of 1906. It was required that animals must be inspected befofe being slaughtered. It is improtant becuase many animals were sick and that is bad becuase people get ill.
In my opinion the most important reform in my point of view would be The Inspection Act in 1906 and the Food and Drug act also in 1906.The reason i choose this reform was because it made sure that the meat we ate and the food was healthy.Other reasons might be that licensed physicians made sure that all the drugs and food was prescripted before given out which would help alot of citizens.
It also wrote label warnings about this type of drug.This is my point of view about my most important reform.
I think that the best reform was the Meat Inspection Act. The Meat Inspection Act required an inspection of animals before they were slaughtered. I think this was the best and most imporant reform bcause of all the disgusting things that went into th meat. Peoples finger got grinded up in meat and they even sold diseased meat. That is disguting. People can get sick and probably die. If there was no Meat inpection Act I think that I would be a vegetarian.
I agree that education was important because without better education, we will be sitting at school waiting the day pass by slowly. Now that John Dewey made education,students have fun in school while back in the days, students did not have fun things to do.
A reform that I learned about was john Dewey. He made it so children did not have to memorise things and they actualy learned.Back then class rooms were not good. The desks were nailed down to the ground and were forced to learn.
Alright Antony but still, I'm not saying that we shouldn't ditch school over food, but I'm trying to say that everyday when you eat lunch at school you wouldn't want a dead rat in your pizza or a rat tail dropped in your milk. Know what I am trying to get across here?
I agree with peter also because most of the people who made up the world today were smart people. If they would have to memorize thier work they would probably have forgotten something they learned that day
I'd like to add that I agree with ellak806 and several people who said that the Meat Inspection Act of 1906 was important. Now we don't have to worry about getting grossed out stuff like human fingers or rat droppings in our food!
I agree with alyssa about the meat inspection act because without it, we would have been eating meat that have not even been checked. The meat can have sickness, can be pregnant or have other kind of disease. If we don't check it before we eat it, we can die or get sick from it.
Reforming city and state goverments :
several citys changed to a council-manager system where voters elect a city counicil. which then chooses a profecioal manager to run the city .

I disagree with thenood that they weren't forced to learn.
I also agree with several people on The Meat Inspection Act of 1906 because keeping the food clean is how healthy we will be when we eat them.
The Child Labor reform was very important, because back than many workers were immigrants, 7, 8 year olds who worked very hard for long hours, they would get payed very little too. And when they would get hurt they would not be cared about, but now they get payed when they get hurt on thier jobs!!!!
I agree with layla that the child labor was very important because very little child had to work and people who worked hard had very little income. There were dangerous machines that they would not be responsible for if you get hurt. All they care about is to get all your work all done. Many children had to work about 16 hours every single day. That is very painful and harsh for a child to work the same hours as an regular adult.
i disagree with thenood because like he said
the children werent forced to learn
they were just not free so all they could do is learn and not have fun or anything else
now in the days the children are more relaxed and worried that there teacher might hit them or something else
