In 1872, punishments for children in schools often included corporal punishment, such as spanking or caning, as well as public shaming techniques like being made to stand in a corner or wear a sign indicating misbehavior. The use of physical discipline was widely accepted and considered an appropriate method to enforce discipline and obedience. Additionally, some schools employed more severe measures, such as expulsion or suspension, for repeated offenses. Overall, the emphasis was on strict discipline to instill respect and order in the classroom.
