Where children ever punished in a work house, how were they punished? Yes, all the time. The workhouses had awful conditions. The children may be whipped or beaten. Many also died of starvation and exhaustion.

At home: A smacking with the hairbrush from mum, a beating with a belt or razer strop from dad.

At school: The cane, the strap, the corner, dunces hat, the log, finger restrictors, standing on one leg, having to recite the 13, 14 and 15 times tables.

A policeman may give them a clip around the ear.

Victorian teachers were stricter than the teachers of today and often used to beat the pupils to make them behave. In the early days of the schools the teachers found it hard to get pupils used to what was expected of them.

The school Log Book records that "..one of the boys misbehaved during his presence, and I had to punish him for it after he left; he pinched another boy while reading, and thus caused him to laugh..."

The entry goes on:
"... it is the same boy who played the truant, and causes the whole of the disturbance in the school: the work being twice as easy when he is absent: I don't like to expel him owing to his parents, who are very nice respectable people, & desire me always to do justice to the boy."

In Victorian schools the children did their ordinary rough work on slates with a piece of chalk or a rough pencil. The Head teacher at New Radnor school punished children for copyingfrom each other's slates.

Punishments at the Victorian workhouses were often to refuse an offender their next meal. They could also be taken before the magistrate and disciplined however the house overseer decided.

What types of punishments were there in schools in the 16th century?

The 1500s is the Tudor period. School punishments consisted of severe birching (whipping with the birch rod, i.e. a thick heavy bundle of birch twigs tied on the end of a stick). Birching was administered to the bare buttocks, with the pupil kneeling and bent over a school 'flogging block', and could be as many as 50 strokes. As the punishment progressed, the pupil's bottom and upper thighs, including the exposed anoperineal region, would be whipped until the whole area became a mass of raw flesh and ran with blood.

What are the differences between Victorian schools and modern schools?

The children were given lots of different punishments like the cane, cleaning out the church, the bucket were they were hung in the air in a basket above their class and they would be given twice the work to do whilst they were in there! It really was a cruel life for Victorian school children so they slowly began banning these cruel punishments and sadly some of these punishments still go on in other countries.
