Myself and my buddy's decided to read a chapter from The History of Childhood.... And we chose to research Punishment in schools and universities. After reading my reading I've found that the 18th century was probably one of the most difficult times to be a child. There was a low opinion of children and the punishments in place were very cruel. I have been left wondering where is the happy medium....
I've also looked at The Warwick library to find books relating to The History of childhood.... These are some I found , and the links to them :-)
