In colonial America (1600s,1700s) most boys did not have chores: they worked. If they lived on a farm they awoke .. got to work feeding animals, tending to crops, had breakfast, continued tending crops or animals, had supper, finished tending farm, washed up (if the day of the week to do so..) and headed for bed. Boys in the city tended to go to work in their father's shop learning his trade (blacksmith, carpenter, cobbler..) and had a similar schedule to the boys on the farm. Education was not universal; depending on the needs of the family, a child might never attend school. Modern day chores are often based around school as a job and any other necessary work scheduled around school.
