Education Dbq

189 Words1 Page

Education was not at its best during this time. It was thought of as a privilege, not as a necessity. For example,” C: What were the usual hours of labor when [children] were not thronged? B: From six in the morning till [seven] at night.” (Document 7). This shows that children were working rather than going to school. Instead of getting an education, some kids were providing extra money for their family. This also showed that the hours children worked were long and allowed no time for other activities. Another example is, “Lots of children (…, not at school,[money] issue)”(document 6). There were a lot of children in one family, so money was an issue which was why most children worked. They were at home or at the factories they didn’t go

    286 Words  | 2 Pages

    As the rate of industrialization in America grew during the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, child labor became more and more common. The rapid growth of the economy and the vast amounts of poor immigrants during the Industrial Age in America justified the work of children as young as the age of three. By 1900, over two million children were employed. However, the risks of involving child labor greatly outweighed the positives; child labor was inhumane, cruel, and caused physical deformities among children. Children typically worked in coal mines, mills, and factories which contained many life-threatening hazards.

Women and children were forced to work from six in the morning to seven at night, and this was when they were not so busy. They were forced to arrive on time and they couldn’t fall behind with their work because if they did they were whipped and punished.
