Bondi , Victor. "The Depression and Education (1930 's)." American Decades . Galenet , 16 Dec. 2007. Web. 7 May 2013. .
In his article, Victor Bondi explains how the depression effected education, and includes important and stunning facts about American education during the 1930 's. He explains how education as a whole went from a big increase to a huge decline. For example between 1930-1935 sales on textbooks decreased nationwide by over a third. Although the great depression set school systems back financially, this article firmly states that it standardized the modern way of learning in America.

Composed for the research of teachers and students, this library website has much useful information about life and education in the 1930 's. By no means was there equality in education between Negro and white children, as 18 states legally segregated schools during the 30 's. Though other states did not publicly segregate, it is likely that minorities were still not given as many options or privileges when it came to education. In some areas rather than learning core subjects, minorities were put into courses to "Americanize" them. Authors included quotes from Eleanor Roosevelt which stated she thought education should be "universal throughout the country". Sterling, Mary Ellen. "Study & Research America 1930-1939: Education ." BookRags | Homework Help, Book Summaries, Study Guides, Essays, Lesson Plans, & Educational Resources. Thomson Corporation, American Decades, n.d. Web. 8 May 2013. . This teacher created resource gives a summary of a published book composed about American education from 1930-1939. Education systems at this time, especially in the South, were racially segregated. The facts state that more than 25% of students were black, but only 12% of education expenses went towards their schools. African American students were also not expected to finish as much education as the rest of children during this era. Sutton , Bettye, and Peggy Whitley . "American Cultural History - 1930-1939." LSC-Kingwood Library. N.p., n.d. Web. 9 May 2013. . This cultural history site provides an accurate section about education in the 1930 's. During this time school revenue was cut, and as a result school years shortened, teacher 's received less pay, and some children were forced to drop out. Bettye Sutton briefly touches on the topic that most parents were unable to provide necessary clothes, supplies, and books for their kids. Today the famous children 's series Dick and Jane, which were published in 1931, still are used to help kids read.
