Actually... I think the US did invent widespread schools and the school system as we know it today.

Don't quote me on it though, because honestly I don't care enough to check.

 

Of course, schools in an invidividual sense have been around since greek philosphers and before.

 

However that a country should try and educate the majority of it's people... I think that such a thing may have been implemented by the US first.
