School in the 1800's

Answer 1

School in the 1800s was very different. Kids only went to school from 9am to 1 pm. They had one hour for recess, one hour of lunch, and two hours of learning. Their school day consisted of reading, writing, and arithmetic. Those subjects were called the three'Rs. If you were a more wealthy family who lived in the city or more populated area you would probably learn history, grammar, geography, science, and foreign languages in your school. As you probably know kids did not have ball point pens in the 1800s so kids used quills. Kids would dip the quill in ink and write, but usually there was a lot of access ink and kids would have a blotting paper and would dab the extra ink to prevent it from smudging. Anyone who was tardy for school and roll call (attendance) would have to wait outside until recess--even in winter! The boys sat at one side of the room while the girls sat on the other side. Sometimes as a punishment the teachers would take a girls bonnet and put it on the boy who misbehaved and he would sit on the girls side. "the peg" was a severe and dreaded punishment. the disobedient child's hair was fastened to clip which kept the pupil standing on his or her tiptoes until the teacher felt that the student had learned his/her lesson. As teachers went, men usually taught schools in the 1800s they were called "school masters" and most men teachers were soldiers who had just retired and needed a job. If a woman did teach she had to be single. Once married she could not teach anymore. every parent of the kids had to pay the teacher her salary in either food or money. If not paid in money usually the teacher then traded the goods at a general store sometime during the week.
