Going to school ijn the early
1800's was much more a luxury to'
therir than to us, even though our
sNiools are much much more
advanced than the old one -room
log cabin type.
It was set up by some energetic
and ambitious parents who wanted
their children ,to have a good
°tducat•ion. Very few teachers had
even High School education.'He on,
she alight be a bachelor or an old
war amputee who couldn't work
anywhere else.
Most teachers were paid
twenty-five cents per month by the
parents 'and boarded with a
different family every month.
School to them might not have
been much fun, but from' what I
gather,,they enjoyed it more than
we do today. •.,

SCHOOL -IN THE' 1806's
I think that school would have
been hard in the 1800's because i
...the work, was taught only once. '
Another thing why it would be hard
is because there were no books 'to
read and pictures to look at, and it
would take longer to get to the
school because there were• no
-.'buses.
I would like the school in a way
because . there would .be no

The, stories .were: written
during history classes. They are•
concerning going to school during
the 1800's.
In the Bows it, I were going tb;
school,,the best thing I would like
would be having a six month
school year. Another thing I would,
like'to have, if I was going to -
.school then would be being taught
by rote; then you would not have
-any homework, and books to lug
home.
I also like theidea•of-sitting on a
bench beside each other because
then you would be able to copy.,
One thing I would .not want to be
without is library resources. I
hate the idea of having Sunday and.

Instead of having notebooks we
would have slates to write on with
