History of schools
In the past, schools were very different from today. Poor children didn't always go school. Often worked in factories because their families needed the money. Girls sometimes go to school or if they did, they went to schools that were only for girls where boys go.
The classroom in the past looked different too there were no computers. some things were the same - children sat at desks and looked at what the teacher on the board. The subjects were the same too - children maths, English and science. Teachers were often unfriendly than they are today. If a child was naughty, the teacher could hit them they didn't obey.
