During 1800s there were dame schools and churches that provided educations for poor children. Teachers were womens and they taught reading wirting and arithmatic. States did not care about childrens education until 1870 where the government came up with Forrester Education Act which have said shcool should provided for all the children. Some kids had to pay to go the school unless u were poor you didnt have to pay any.
They taught diffrent things by the class u are from: Kids that are from upper class families were taught by governess and middle calss kids were taught grammars and for the girls sewing and music in school. And the Lowest class children lessons in school was horrible and they were humiliated by wearing a cap that said "dunce" on it.
