Preferred term

training schools  

Definition

  • Before the 1800s, society viewed children as little adults and treated them as little adults on many different levels, including meting out adult punishments. While society looked to the family to guide the child and oversee his or her moral development, due to the negligence or absence of some parents, a number of children did not have parental supervision.
