Victorian Project

At the time of Queen Victoria, industrial revolution was one of the major issues. On this context, education was not very important and families forced children to work in order to have more money. Only rich and middle class went to school. Girls did not have many possibilities and only boys went to school, the wealthy families pay a governoss to teach the girls at home. Few schools at Victorian time were super strict and usually punished children with lashes, stocks, the log and the cage.
Some of the school for rich people were Grammar Schools and Public School, in both cases families had to pay fees.
Some other schools were "Dame" Schools, run by a woman, that helped poor children for free. The Sunday School ware run by the church, to teach children about the Christian faith. Other was the Ragged school, for poor people, older children helped to teach younger ones.
Some of the lessons at the schools were Reading, Writing and Arithmetics.
During Victorian times, several changes were introduced to education. Some of the most important were:
- In 1833  factory owners were supposed to provide at least two hours of education every day for children working at the factories.
- In 1870 a reform was made in order to have a school in every town.
- In 1880 was mandatory by parliament law school for children between 5 to 10 yaers old.
- In 1891 schools become free.

Dear Diary                                                                                                    1838
Today in my first day of school, in class the teacher hit me because I was talking with my best friend Pepe Pedro Pablo, when I finish the day in the school I go to my work in the clothes factory, in my work I sew clothes, when I finish the work I go to my small house, on the road to my house I found some pennies and my father dont hit my because I give him the pennies that I found, in the night I can sleep thinking in my first day of school.
The next day my father told me that I can not go to school because the family lose money, because with the school I only work a part of the day, that day I only went to work at the clothes factory. Today was a bad day because I princh myself with the neadle a lot of times, the best of my day was that after the work I see my best friend Pepe Pedro Pablo to play a match of soccer and I win with Pepe Pedro Pablo, when I go to my house my father was hiting my mather, because my father was drunk.
The next day I did not go to my work because I escape of my house and I go to the river and I found a little boat and I cross the river and I see a big tree and I sleep at the foot of the tree for a long time and in a thing of a minute my father apears in front of me and hit me one, two, three times. I go to my home punished without see my friend Pepe Pablo Pedro for two days, thats days passed very slow becuse I was boried because I was working and working and working.
Today after work I went fishing with my friend Pepe Pedro Pablo, I catch the biggest fish I ever see in my life and Pepe Pedro Pablo catch a very little fish, then I go to the farm to win more money, after that I go to my house to sleep because I was very tired with all the work that I have in the day. The next day I work in the clothes factory and in the farm that day I was very tired and I go to my house to sleep in my little bed.
