  1. Schools in Victorian times In the Victorian Times there were some separations between boys and girls , rich and poor children .The rich children were luckier than poor children .Because of their money they had toys , books and nannies. They had also the opportunity to learn additional knowledge. On the other hand poor children had very limited rights. They could only attend the basic education which means that they could read and write. Between boys and girls were also differences. The girls were kept at home and they didn’t have the option to go to a public school. Contrary boys had this ability.

  2. What was Victorian classroom like? • There were maps and perhaps pictures on the wall. There would be a globe maps for geography lessons, and an abacus to help with sums. Children sat in rows and the teacher sat at a desk facing the class. At the start of the Victorian age, most teachers were men, but later many women trained as teachers .

  3. Children wrote on slates with chalk. They wiped the slate clean, by spitting on it and rubbing with their coat sleeve or their finger! Slates could be used over and over. For writing on paper, children used a pen with a metal nib ,dipped into an ink well .

  4. Which were the subjects in Victorian schools? • Girls and boys learned together in primary schools, but were separated in secondary schools. Both boys and girls learned reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling and drill (PE). Children were often taught by copying and repeating what the teacher told them. Lessons included teaching in right and wrong, and the Christian religion. • Boys learned technology: woodwork, maths and technical drawing, to help with work in factories, workshops or the army when they grew up. • Girls had lessons in cooking and sewing, to prepare them for housework and motherhood.

  5. The punishment of the students • Discipline in schools was often strict. Children were punished for even minor wrongdoings, with a cane, on the hand or bottom.An other way for the teachers to punish students was by by making them stand in the corner wearing a 'dunce's cap’.
