what punishments did the victorian children get?

Cane \nTeachers handed out regular canings. Look inside the “punishment book” that every school kept, and you will see many reasons for these beatings: rude conduct, leaving the playground without permission, sulkiness, answering back, missing Sunday prayers, throwing ink pellets and being late. Boys were caned across their bottoms, and girls across their hands or bare legs. Some teachers broke canes with their fury, and kept birch rods in jars of water to make them more supple. Victims had to chose which cane they wished to be beaten with! \n\nDunce's Cap \nPunishment did not end with caning. Students had to stand on a stool at the back of the class, wearing an arm band with DUNCE written on it. The teacher then took a tall, cone-shaped hat decorated with a large “D”, and placed it on the boys head. Today we know that some children learn more slowly than others. Victorian teachers believed that all children could learn at the same speed, and if some fell behind then they should be punished for not trying hard enough. \n\nSee all about it in\nhttp://www.nettlesworth.durham.sch.uk/time/victorian/vschool.html

The correct answer is the Bill of Rights.\n\nThe cruel and unusual punishment is in the 8th Amendment, the others are in the 5th.

They are penalized if they get poor grades and don't pass, otherwise, if they do the work (this is college I'm talking about) and the kids have paid for it, I guess it doesn't matter.

Basically it was bad! Punishment was very harsh - there were 3 ordeals to test if a person was guilty of a crime - that was the closest people got to a trial. 1. fire (hold a red hot poker - a few days later, if your hand was healing you were innocent, if it wasn't you were guilty) 2. Water (be tied up, thrown in water - if you drown your innocent, if you float you're guilty - and probably will be killed another way) 3. Combat - for lords mainly (they'd fight to the death). Thieves had their hands cut off. Prisons were expensive so criminals were mutilated and then set free as a warning. \nDisease was everywhere and medical treatment was harsh - if you had a headache it was suspected as demons and evil spirits in the head - you'd have a hole driled into your skull and a part of your brain cut out to release the demons. Other 'treatments included leeches and blood letting to release bad blood. \n\nCheck the site below for links to lots more info

I used to go to a boarding school and boy did I hate it! My boarding school was particularly strict so most of the time we couldn't go anywhere and stayed at school for periods of 4-5 weeks before a 2-day return home. It was horrible! We had no form of entertainment and knew little of what was going on outside the school walls. We were punished for the slightest of things---eating in the dormitory, using electric items, showering after 5pm, wearing sleaveless clothing or shoes without 'backs'. We were a set of bored boarding broods that had little to do but study, envy, and drool at the footballers we managed to get a look at in the local teen newspaper. Thank God, I'm finally FREE!

There wasn't really a method. They looked to see if you had any marks that would be the devils...but most of them were simply accused by the ranting girls or by neighbors who were in debt to the accused or something like that. And, since the court was too stubborn to back down, they simply kept sentencing people...until the girls went too far and accused a high officals daughter.

Not my brothers but when i was in school, and the teacher used to say that if whoever had done the thing wrong did not own upto it the class would have to sit in silence for the rest of the day, i would own up even when it was not me.  Got sent to the headmasters office and then got the cane.

Slides. Only one child permitted at a time on the ladder/access, and on slide until child leaves slide at bottom. They complied and became rather fascist about enforcing the rule themselves.

Detention, Suspension, Expulsion. And that is just the school. You may also face criminal charges!

Kids usually get away with stuff like that, unless they accused a teacher.  If it is proven that they falsely accuse a teacher, they will get all kinds of hell from the school, including at least a suspension.

If there is more than one child involved or if they are a repeat offender, then the death penalty.  And I'm serious.  There isn't a cure for this sickness.  They shouldn't be allowed to continue to ruin children's lives/futures.

In Victorian England,people who were designated criminals used to be executed by hanging.They would stant on an overturned bucket while the executioner put the noose around their necks.After the clergyman's prayer and the victim's last words,the executioner would kick the bucket,causing the victim to become suspended and be strangulated.\nl don't know why it's the dead person who's referred to as having kicked the bucket..

They got approx £400,000 to £500,000. However the Government tried to make them pay some of it back to cover the cost of the food and accommodation they recieved whilst inside.\n\nBoard and lodgings in prison is only free if you're guilty. If you're convicted in a miscarriage of justice, then later release, HM Government will try and reclaim the cost of jailing you.

i dont agree with that at all... i think the ones that dont want to or the parents dont want them to participate shouldn't but to punish the other children is just plain wrong

While I did not live during those times to be able to say how they addressed each particular crime, I could only provide what I 'think' they may have done based on literary works and plays that were handed down from those times.\n\nOne means of punishment was "the stocks", where a person was confined so that they could be seen (and perhaps) ridiculed by others.  From literature, such as "The Scarlett Letter", it appears that the puritans, who have put people to death for crimes they considered extremely severe (in order to root out evil, as it seems to me), appeared to be more inclined to find a way to publically ridicule the people that committed lesser infractions.  Sometimes they 'branded' people or made them somehow identifiable as persons who did not follow a strict "moral" code.\n\nWhile they seemed to be their own "jury of their peers", they probably didn't have the best means of punishment, espeically in cases where those doling such out were very superstitious.

It is a form of judicial corporal punishment that is legal in many countries.  The guilty person is taken to a public place (hence "public") and beaten with a switch/stick (made from bamboo, hence "cane").  The sentence usually specifies the number of lashes the person receives.  This punishment made international headlines several years ago when an 18yr.old American living in Singapore was found guilty of vandalizing a car.  His sentence was 6 lashes on his bare bottom.

Nothing at all.....yes they should be punished to the fullest extint of the law.  How does it look for the people who are put in place to enforce the law constantly break it and get away scott free?  This may go on but it takes courageous individuals who know of this type of inappropriate behavior to come forward and make this unsavory deeds known.  No matter what the cost....a philosopher once said....without struggle there is no success.......
