Children from richer homes were well fed, wore warm clothes and had shoes on their feet.
Poor children looked thin and hungry, wore ragged clothes, and some had no shoes.]]> 2018-03-16 07:27:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kornelyte26/yk5v05ha5vzi/wish/242686493 Food kornelyte26 https://padlet.com/kornelyte26/yk5v05ha5vzi/wish/242687250 Rich and Poor Children had vastly different lifestyles when it came to food. The rich children would dine on significant amounts of food and waste food too whereas the poor would have limited meals of low quality. A large quantity of the population were living on dripping, bread, tea and vegetables. 
The diet for those Victorians who were very poor was terrible. Potato pairings & rotten vegetables were sometimes the dish of the day and for children born into this background this was exceptionally difficult for growth.]]> 2018-03-16 07:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kornelyte26/yk5v05ha5vzi/wish/242687250 Jobs kornelyte26 https://padlet.com/kornelyte26/yk5v05ha5vzi/wish/243688428 In the early 1800s, many children worked 16-hour days in atrocious conditions alongside their parents.
Being tiny, children could scramble up or down the chimneys of upper-class Victorian houses; some were as young as three years old.The job of a chimney sweep was to brush off accumulated soot in the chimney. Of course, they wore no protection against the rough brickwork, so their knees and elbows would be sliced and bruised until they developed calluses. 
Other children were sent down into the coal mines at the age when today’s kids are starting kindergarten.Hurriers and fillers were small children who loaded trucks with coal by hand as it was pried from the coal face by older men.
Other children would then drag the trucks of coal along passageways often no more than three feet high.
Jobs the did: Coal mines, laundry for pay, chimney sweep, sweated trades, factory worker, matchmaking, scare the birds from the fields, pottery making, farm worker, textile mill, ship yard, pick pocket,seller in the streets.

Not many families had gardens big enough to play in, and there were no children's playgrounds. Rich families had playrooms or nurseries but poorer children played wherever they could find space. With ten or more children often crammed into one or two rooms, play-space for poor families was a luxury. Playing outside was the usual escape. ]]> 2018-03-19 18:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kornelyte26/yk5v05ha5vzi/wish/243707761 Holidays kornelyte26 https://padlet.com/kornelyte26/yk5v05ha5vzi/wish/243710006 They did have a few holidays during the year; New Year's Day, Christmas Day and Good Friday and, on those days they usually went to Church and to school. Those were, however, their only holidays. ]]> 2018-03-19 18:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kornelyte26/yk5v05ha5vzi/wish/243710006 Living conditions kornelyte26 https://padlet.com/kornelyte26/yk5v05ha5vzi/wish/243712155  One of the on the job aspects of Victorian Child Labor was the dreadful working conditions. This was particularly magnified in the coal mines. It was dark in the mines making it hard to see and at times would cause permanent problems with sight from the constant strain on the eyes. ]]> 2018-03-19 18:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kornelyte26/yk5v05ha5vzi/wish/243712155 School kornelyte26 https://padlet.com/kornelyte26/yk5v05ha5vzi/wish/243719942 Boys from middle class attended charged public schools. The purpose of these schools 
was not only to provide a quality education, but also to teach young boys independence. Later on, most of the former students became officers of colonial administration, military and government management. Apart from public schools, children also attended church schools, jewish schools and schools for girls. 
One of the schools that provided education for the poorest children was Central London District school for Pauper Children known as the “Monster School” because of the number of the students attending the school (around 1,000).Picard draws our attention to church schools that followed scalled “Lancaster system” according to which the smartest student was supposed to teach his peers. In 1846, the system was changed when only trained teachers were allowed to teach. The Jewish school in London was established in 1817. In 1822, there were 600 students attending the school. Later on, in 1870 it was 2,400 students and with high probability it was the largest school in the world.
