If you did not know your lessons,you were called a dunce. You had to sit on the dunce stool and wear the dunce cap. It made you feel very foolish.

If you misbehaved you got a beating from a birch branch stick. They hit the birch branch across your knuckles until they bled,and you cry. You're lucky your teacher didn't do that! The teachers also did it in front of the children!!!!!
