Modern and Victorian school comparison.


Well, if you think about this statement. They are different from the beggining to the end. The most notorious things are the ways of punishment, if you see a modern school the ways of punishing a child are only verbal warnings. But in a Victorian school they could hit you or even hang you in the middle of the classroom. So they are totaly different on the punishment ways.

Another difference between them is the way to teach. At the victorian schools the main way to teach was repeating what the teacher says. But at the modern schools there are a lot of most especialized techniques.


   

Concluding, if you look at both classrooms, the Victorian one looks very sad and booring. But the modern one looks very interesting, fun and interactive.
