My day at a Victorian Aged school in 1878

Today we went to a Victorian Aged school and  the teacher told us  how to write with a slate board and how strict they were back then.

When we were in class she always said "Back straight head up!". We were all frightened because she had a big stick which she said she hit naughty children with

This is a special tool especially for children who would have slouched. They even had things for people who fiddled. They had their hands tied behind their back.

It was very funny when there was a guy who wasn't doing as he was told to do and got a hat that said D that meant dumb and we pointed at  him with our fingers and siad dummy dummy.

I am glad school has changed from back then.
