There were certain punishments if you did not listen or behave appropriately. There was always a stick in the classroom for hitting the palms, the knuckles, and the bottom. There was a knob on one wall that if anybody behaved badly they had to bend over and touch their nose on the knob. During a lesson if either a boy or a girl talked , whispered, or giggled maybe a boy would have to sit on the girls side or maybe a girl would have to sit on the boys side. The punishments were very harsh
