Answer 1

In New England, dame schools were common but not as prevalent in other colonies. Dame schools were informal schools usually run by women in their homes, where young children could receive basic education in reading, writing, and arithmetic. This was particularly prevalent in New England due to the region's emphasis on education and literacy, influenced by religious beliefs and community needs. In contrast, other colonies had different educational practices and structures.
