Ragged Schools
6
Why were there Ragged schools?
Ragged schools were made because people started to be concerned about the children in an area. There were many juvenile delinquents, the people hoped that by opening these schools it would help the children to a better future for themselves.
7
What did the schools provide?
Ragged schools provided common education like reading and writing. Some Ragged schools provided shelter especially when it was cold and they had no where else to go. They also provided food three meals a day, when some of the children first came they couldn’t stomach all of the food because they were so underfed but they eventually got use to it.
8
Who started the Ragged schools?
Churches and volunteers had first started the Ragged schools. Once more and more children started to attend the schools they needed money to pay for the people to work and to pay for the facilities. They had to make several petitions to parliament for grants. Many petitions were made until they go the grants
9
Did the Ragged schools help?
The Ragged schools helped get many children off of the streets. Even though people had tried to help they still needed to do more.

School Punishments in the Victorian Era
By: Dorito Roman
11
Caning Caning is a form of corporal punishment consisting of a number of hits with a single cane usually made of rattan, generally applied to the offender's bare or clothed buttocks or hand(s) ( usually on the palm). Application of a cane to the knuckles or the shoulders has been much less common. The size and flexibility of the cane and the mode of application, as well as the number of the strokes, vary greatly—from a couple of light strokes with a small cane across the seat of a junior schoolboy's trousers, to 24 very hard, wounding cuts on the bare buttocks with a large, heavy, soaked rattan as a judicial punishment in south-east Asia.

Dunce’s Cap A tall pointed hat with a letter “D” or sometimes the word dunce was left conspicuously on a stool in the corner of the classroom. Students who were slow at learning were made to stand in the corner wearing the hat while the teacher, and probably other students as well, mocked them. Although this seems cruel to modern minds, in Victorian times it was thought that all pupils were capable of learning equally and that a slow-learning student was being deliberately lazy or reluctant to learn. The dunce would remain in the corner, sometimes standing on the stool, until the end of classes.
13
Strap The tawse is a leather strap with its business end cut into a number of tails ( usually two or three ) . The tawse may be applied to the palm of the hands or the buttocks . If the latter, it may be applied over clothing. Unlike the cane, a leather strap can be safely applied to the hand: it will hurt but not injure , and six of the very best can be safely inflicted upon a schoolboy's palms. The tawse has been employed in domestic, educational and judicial contexts. Students had to kneel on the rough wooden floorboards with their backs very straight and their hands on the back of their necks for about twenty minutes. If the student fell over, the teacher would hit them on the head and tell them to sit upright!
