150 Years ago

150 years ago the classrooms were different. They had a fireplace, but that’s not all because you had a hand inspections and not fun P.E. So do you want to go back in the olden day school? Well I don't and I will tell you why. Firstly it was very strict because if you had messy handwriting or not finished you would get the cane or the strap that would hurt. There were more male teachers than female teachers because male teachers could be more strict than female teachers. You weren’t allowed talk at all otherwise you would either get the cane or the strap. That’s a big punishment. When you get a punishment it could have been from the principal or your teacher. Also, the rules were different because the children weren’t allowed to get out of their seats, only if the teachers said that they could. You weren’t allowed to sniff or speak. That would have been terrible. After morning tea and lunch time they had to line up and wait for their teacher. They couldn’t just run inside and sit at their desk and wait for their teacher there, otherwise they would get the cane of the strap. Next, it was very boring back then because, you manly did boring work like writing pretty much all day [well it felt like it] and handwriting. 150 years ago P.E was only stretches. It would have been boring if they did different stretches everyday. Next 150 years ago the classroom didn’t have any colorful pictures like we do now. But that’s not all they didn’t have an active board, painting and more familiar stuff. The classroom only had one fire to heat the whole classroom. And they had a black board instead of an active-board They didn’t even have any computers and no lights which would have made it really hard to see. Did you hear what I said? Well I hope you did because it was really HARD!! They had really boring, short P.E. So do you want to go back to school in the olden days? Well, I don’t. It was so boring 150 years ago.
