Schools many years ago
One hundred years ago schools were very different. Children did not wear their everyday clothes to school. They learned to read write and do mathematics. They had History and Geography but they didn't learn Science. They used to write on slates with chalks. When the children finished their work, they cleaned their slates with a rag so that they could write on them again and again. When they were older, children learned to write with pens and ink. They didn't have biros or crayons like children today. They didn't have many books as they were very expensive. Teachers were very strict. If the children were naughty, they had to stand in the corner. They did exercises in the playground. The teacher blew a whisle and the children used to bend down and stretch up in time to the whistle. They didn't do sports like basketball or volleyball or football or table tennis.
