But by 1900, school was compulsory and free for all children between the ages of 5 and 12. This was significant because it meant children could get a proper education but it would have also greatly improved the life of the poor children because it meant they wouldn’t have to work in factories, which usually had terrible conditions. Transport also improved during the Industrial Revolution. The construction of major railways began in 1830 and the network continued to expand throughout the Industrial Revolution. Britain was covered in a railway network by the end of the Industrial Revolution.

Do you think students would get better grades if they got paid? Some parents say that paying their children really works for them. Students should get paid for good grades because paying students is a great motivator, they will work harder, and they will more likely get higher scores and more improved grades.

Some parents do not understand the importance of Internet access because in their generation, the Internet was not necessity. However, the bigger issue is the gap between whites who have access to the Internet and minorities.
When you go to High School the first year you get a set schedule from a counselor and you have no choice on what classes you go into beside an elective. You have 6 classes a day, 5 days a week, and things can become very stressful, very fast. In High School you have a lot less responsibilities and a lot less motivation because most kids are just there because they have to be and don’t really want to learn anything when they have too.
