82、of the countrys wealth.Most of their servantswere very poorly paid,but were always living in the homes of upper-classVictorian families,so they didnt have to pay for housing,food and clothing.Themoney which they did earn,they sent to their families.Many servants came fromthe countryside.Among them w
83、ere cooks,cleaners,gardeners and so on.Thefamily would also employ a childs nurse whose main role was to care for thechildren.She was responsible for teaching the children how to behave and takingcare of them when they were ill.Nurses did not,however,educate the children.Generally,children from weal
84、thy families didnt attend school outside the familyhome.Tutors would come to the house to do this.Now,the Victorian upper classeshave the reputation of being quite cruel;but this wasnt always the case.They werealso quite generous.Some schools were set up with money from the upper classesso that poor
85、 children could have some form of education.Additionally,mostVictorian parents were very proud of their children.This goes against the commonidea that parents were very strict with their children.In fact,the opposite wasgenerally the rule.However,the situation for lower class families was verydifferent.Lets have a look.
