  3. Schools • Imagine what school is like now, its way different in colonial times. If you talked during class you would get a slapping on the hand, that you would never forget! Mostly boys went to school, girls stayed home! If a boy didn’t bring firewood in the winter they would have to sit in the coldest part of the room! If you didn’t behave in school you will get embarrassed. Like if you didn’t know your lesson you would be called a dunce and you would have to sit in the dunce stool and wear a dunce cap. Their school was very strict

They all put effort into the jobs

  9. Consequences Punishments were very harsh in colonial times. One punishment was getting hanged like if you stole a silver spoon be hanged. If people broke the law they would be put on the whipping post. If a wife talked back to her husband, she would be put on the dunking stool. You would never want to do that. Would you?
