SCHOOLS THROUGH

TIME 1930- 2012

BY JOSHUA SINGLETON

In 1944 every child got free education to

the age of 15. It was raised to

16 in 1973

In 1980 schools were

much like now but

fewer clubs .

In 1990 most children were

cheeky.

In 1930 the milk was free, it came in a glass

bottle and some bread for a snack. Now it

comes in plastic cartons.

In 1970’s felt pens were introduced into schools

In 1980’s there was no homework,

but spellings and times tables....

In 1950’s the main dinner was rive and

beans

In 1980s children were

aloud to write in pen in the last

year of school.

1980’s the whiteboard

was introduced to

schools

In 1950 they was now

homework BUT 20

spellings and times

tabels

In 1980s cloths was allot like today's

apart from shirt and tie

Lines were a punishment

in the 1980’s.

I asked my Gran (62) about school when she was a child.

School was from 9 am to 4pm. Detention was from 4pm to 4.30pm a cane across the palm of your hand a slipper across your bum. They used a straight Pen with ,bottle of ink are a fountain pen. Books were Janet and john ( biff and kipper). We had 20 spellings a week and table tests. If we got them wrong we would be called dunce and told to stand in the corner.I had to have learnt my tables by the age of nine.When I first started school in 1952, we used chalk and small black boards. We weren’t allowed paper until we were older, we had queue for a tea spoon of cold liver oil every day . Small children had to rest after dinner. We lay on small camp beds

Classrooms were colder, windows were higher so you could look out.

Each child had a desk with a lid . Inside they kept books and fountain pen and bottle of ink.On the desk lid there was an ink well and a groove for the pen. Desks were sloped to help writing.

teachers were strict and the punishment was common including cane, detention, dunce cap, harness and had to Wright

The teacher tort all subjects including singing ,PE and pottery.

Most of the UK punishment was hash but USA was hasher.

In war times they had a radio to listening for import news. In 1990 they had to share a computer. The dentists who'd come and the optician to check up the children. In 1970s the main food was breed, cereal and sausages.

.1944 Butler's Education Act creates the "tripartite", hierarchical system of grammar, technical and secondary modern schools.Selection is decided by an exam taken at the age of 11. Meanwhile, the school leaving age is raised to 15.1951 General Certificate of Education (GCE) O-levels and A-levels are introduced, replacing the School Certificate and the Higher School Certificate.1964 Harold Wilson's newly-elected Labour government promises to set up comprehensive schools, combining pupils of all ability levels. 1973 School leaving age raised to 16.1988The National Curriculum, stipulating subjects to be studied until the age of 16, is also introduced.1995 The government introduces National Curriculum Tests, often called Sats, for all children aged seven, 11 and 14 ( tests for seven year olds were first tried in 1991). 1997 The National Literacy Strategy, aimed at raising standards to those of the UK's main competitors, is introduced for primary schools in England.

These are some pictures showing differences between then and now.
