Today, in class, we got on the computers and started our daily blogs as Mr. Bruns started talking about our upcoming tests over chapters 5-8 next week. People were complaining that the test was too much in too little time. He also talked about the presidents, both reform and status quo (leave as it is).
After all that, we did our daily blogs, unfortunately in alphabetical order. Dena takled about how blacks had very little rights and were victims of segregation. The Civil Rights Act of 1875 gave blacks more rights, but it didn't last very long. It was actually passed in 1957. Dru talked about school for children. In the late 1800's is when we started to require children to go to school. Ages 8-14 went to school about 16 weeks a year, so they still had time to work on the farm. Corporal Punishment was the norm back then, which just sounds fantastic.
We also got into a discussion about how we won't hardly use any of the stuff we learn after we get out of high school. We only need good grades to get to college so we can get a good job. I can't wait to tell everyone that Mr. Bruns told us all this.
