Being a student in the 1900's is a lot different than it is in 2017. In the 1900's there would only be one teacher, sometimes two. There is just one big classroom with all students of different ages unlike having a classroom for each grade. Sometimes kids will stop going to school at young ages so that they can work and help out and farm. Sometimes they will get pulled out of school to help market foods. Kids in the 1900's loved school most of the time.
When writing students would use pen that they dip in ink to write with. Kids attending school have to purchase their own books\textbooks but sometimes it's to expensive for families so they have to keep the same ones for the next year. They have stoves in the front of the classroom to warm it p in the winter. Instead of lunch bags they bring their lunches in syrup buckets. No transportation was provided unless you owned a horse and got to ride them to school but if not would of probably had to walk within 4-5 miles.
Back in the 1900's kids were punished very differently than kids are now. Back then if you were to get in trouble boys would be struck on their bottoms and girls on the back of their legs and palms of the hand by a bamboo cane. In extreme cases, girls would also be struck on their bottom. Leather straps or belts could also be used as well as being hit on the knuckles with a wooden ruler.
- 8 strikes for swearing
- 7 strikes for lying
- 10 strikes for card playing
- 10 strikes for mistreating girls
- 3 strikes for girls who would sneak into boys play areas
- 4 strikes for boys and girls playing together
The changes in punishment r significant from the 1900's to 2017 now. Being a student now and realizing how fortunate I am.
