Answer 2

In public schools it was awful. You only learned basic arithmetic and read easy books. You learned by repeating the lessons over and over again till everyone in the classroom (sometimes over 100 people) memorized them word by word. You were punished with a rod and switch or hit with a paddle or ruler some times a teacher even boxed your ears. you didn't learn much and what you did wasn't useful. Sometimes you were smarter than your teacher . School's aren't that bad today but in some places people teach languages ad subjects they them selves don't know how to speak or do. this is not reliable

Answer 3

In the late 1800s, education in many places was limited, with a focus on basic reading, writing, and arithmetic skills. Schools were often one-room buildings with a single teacher responsible for students of all ages. Education was not compulsory, and access to schooling varied depending on factors like location, social class, and gender.

Answer 4

School was typically held in a one-room schoolhouse. The focus of education in the late-1800's was reading and writing. Schools at the time had a very close relationship with the community.
