I am researching schools for the wealthier children in the 1880s and I realized I couldn’t find anything on the discipline system from that time period. Did they have detentions? Did they use demerits? Did they have permenate records that recieved black marks? Were physical punishments used? Were they made to clean/cook/assist teachers? It would be great if somebody could help with this question.
In Britain in the 1880s the most common punishment was corporal punishment, usually with a cane. Six strokes was the maximum allowed, and the punishment had to be recorded in the punishment book. The other punishments you mention are more recent in origin. These days corporal punishment is banned, and the raft of lesser punishments are not always effective!

To be answered by bossy females only. Would u use discipline techniques upon his misbehavior?
Aug 29
Some like spanking, some other paddling, some other caning. What r u familiar with? Any other ideas on discipline? Maybe some sissification?
Thanx for the compliments.As a bossy female I really dnt need to use anything.my very sight is sufficient to scare him.
Do you advocate spankings? I do not have any kids, but I’m not entirely sure how I would discipline my future children. Some people say talk to your child or give them timeout, etc., but those tactics do not work all of the time. Do you believe spanking help reinforce discipline? Spankings would be my last alternative, thus, I enjoy trying to resolve a nuisance in a civil manner, but I believe I will inevitably have to face that castigating route.
Ill have to say this. Timeouts don’t work for everything. Talking doesn’t work for everything. Spankings don’t work for everything. Taking things away don’t work for everything. Which is why I use a variety of these. If my daughter is outside playing and she’s being mean to her sister or other kids. Ill make her sit on the step and not 0play for a couple of minutes. Works jus fine. If she says a bad word I will talk to her and tell her that she does not need to talk like like that works fine. If she’s constantly ignoring my instruction after everything has failed I will whoop some asses. If she throws a tantrum because I got her something she wanted but it wasn’t n the color she wanted I take that sh!t right back where I bought. U jus gotta use what’s appropriate for the offense. The problem is parents thinking that only 1 way is the right way for every wrong doing which jus ain’t it. U better believe I will not b sittin my daughter in a corner for supergluing her baby sisters hair down to her head. Oh no that warrants an azz whooping.
Hope that helps
Besides detention, out of/in suspencion, and expulsion?
I am a teacher and I use the removal of privileges (like recess) and detentions. I also use time-out with students where they must sit out – away from their "audience" for a few minutes.
You can also use incentive charts with particular students. You both agree to a behavior contract and then chart the success until the goal is reached and some privilege is earned. (like extra computer time).
Good Luck!
