School was seen as something that was optional in the past and there were no repercussions for not going to school
Classrooms held all grades, though that is something that occurs today as well (grade ⅘ split class for example), but the grade range from the 1850’s to the 1970’s were vastly different
High stress levels of the teachers as they were required to teach children in differing grade levels
Education in the 1850’s to the 1970’s often used a one-size-fits-all approach, with little consideration to ensure that children are receiving adequate education and learning opportunities.
Started the day with prayers but in today's education scene, depending on the school, prayers are not as common
Immensely segregated schooling in the past - racial bias and discrimination continues to exist today
