Answer 2

Puritan schools were referred to as dame schools because these schools were for girls who were taught how to become good housewives.

• Though both boys and girls were allowed to study, girls were enrolled only in Dame schools so that they could be taught household works. Only boys could study in regular academic schools.
• Just as in Old England, Puritan schools were called "Dame Schools".
• By 1647, a law was passed in the Massachusetts Bay colony called The Olde Deluder Act of 1647 that required towns of over one hundred homes to establish and pay for the cost of schools.
