How did lesson plans work in small-town schools that weren’t segregated by grade?

116 views

Historically, towns would have basically a single schoolhouse with one room where children of all ages would go for education. Did they just all learn the same thing, regardless of whether they were 8 years old or 15 years old? How long would they spend in school and for how many years?

My family member told us that they sat according to ages. This half of the room was the very young kids and the other have of the room was middle school aged people. No they weren’t learning the same stuff. They would all listen to the instructions as a whole group though. Pretty interesting that life used to be so small.
