Who was allowed to go to school during yellow fever 1793?

During the yellow fever epidemic of 1793 in Philadelphia, most schools were closed due to the outbreak. However, some wealthy families sent their children to private tutors or alternative locations away from the city to continue their education. Generally, access to schooling was limited and primarily available to those who could afford to seek out private instruction. The majority of the population, particularly the poor and those affected by the disease, were unable to attend school during this time.
