This document provides biographical information on three seminal thinkers who affected American education: Horace Mann, Mohandas Gandhi, and John Goodlad. It describes Mann's work establishing the first public school system in Massachusetts in the 1830s and his belief that education should be accessible to all. For Gandhi, it mentions his education in England and time in Africa, and notes he distinguished between primary and basic education. For Goodlad, it provides his general information and influences but does not give specifics about his accomplishments. The document requests feedback on what to discuss in more depth for the next presentation.
