Goldfields: women and children
By Adnan
EDUCATION
Mums couldn't teach their kids because they don't know how to speak English. The parents moved alot and changed schools because they were looking for richer goldfields. Mums and dads moved around alot and at the end of the day, they layed down and relaxed. Some people like journalists wrote their lifes then they would share it to the chidren in schools or at home. Schoolhouses started to the tents, then to wooden huts. Their mothers paid a fee to send their kids to school but some stayed with their mothers at home to know their mothers a bit more or do work.
