- no i dont think it was fair how children were treated during the industrial revolution . they were treat poorly & they weren't even allowed to eat . they worked more hours than we have in school . For example , my child laborer said that her knees were turned in . she also said they were punished & dragged across the floor .

I don't think it was fair. I say this because little kids were brought up in a factory where the learned quickly how to sew. Some kids were left to become cripple, they were payed in oatmeal i think it was wrong on somay different ways

I don't think it was fair. I say it wasn't fair because these little kids was giving work like they was adults or like they had the strength of god or something. For example, his limbs began to fail on him, he could not do the type of work he was doing before.So they took one shilling every week.

I don;t think it was fair how child labor or children were treated during the industrial revolution. My reason why i say this because they didn't give the children anytime to eat, have breakfast, and dinner. Children have to work from morning till night time without rest, and on Saturday from 11-12am at night. They work like they were slaves and like if their lives is depend on it. All the work children do most of them don't get paid money. They either get paid food or something else.

I dont' think it was fair for the children.For instance, children barely got any rest, they'd work day in and day out.Furthermore, children weren't even payed.As a matter of fact children baerly ate during work hours.Clearly, children were basically treated like slaves during this time.

I dont think it was fair for the children to be exploited. For instance the owners barely let them rest. They were fed sour food, little to no water, and sometimes spoiled milk. They would work for hours and hours with out any breaks. The only break they got, if you could even call it a break was on sundays when all they did was wash the machinery. So clearly the children were treated like dirty dog slaves.

i don't think that it was fair the way that they treated. They where exploited and they where too young to do anything. All of them where very tired and never ate good food. some children where so unlucky that then died in horrible accidents. For example, being so tired and not knowing what they were doing children were hurt an sometimes died using these big machines.

I don't think it was fair how the children were treated during the Industrial Revolution.I don't think it's fair because i don't think anybody, no matter who they are should ever be treated like that.They didn't feed them a lot of food,they had low pay,worked with dangerous machinery,poor ventilation,and overcrowded work spaces.

I Think that it was not fair because they were making young children work and they were 4 and up .Also they made them work them long shifts and stand them shifts the hold hours.Then were beating frequency during work. As for my child labor said he was beaten frequency. BY Naeemah

I think, that the children of the industrial revolution were treated unfairly because of the hours they worked without breaks and sometimes they get paid in apple pie or they don't get paid at all. Some of the children died in the factory they worked in because of the machines they worked on.

No, it was not fair. They worked too long with low payments and many got injured real bad

shardae said...

No i don't think it was fair . The reason why i think it wasn't fair is because they didn't get any time to eat. They also had to start work at 6 o'clock or earlier then that. They work so hard they felt pain in their legs and in other places . They even were punished , the boss pulled them by their hair or dragged three or four yards. thats why i say the child labor was unfair

i don't think it was fair how children were over worked during the labor because they worked to much,to young and werent even paid alot.there working conditions were unsafe and very unhealthy.many died or deformed.

i dont think it was fair how children were being treated because children need to have fun in their life not work. Hannah Brown was treated she started work at age 9.worked from 6am to 9pm with no time to eat.body was hurt like her legs and stuff

Miya said...

I think that it's not fair for people to put children to work as young as 4 . For example the child i look up stood so long her knees buckled and turned in.I think it's not fair for factory owners to take advantage of kids .

kadhafi said...

I really dont think it fair at all they way factory owners take advantage of kids that 6 years or under
