On a slightly longer episode we are covering two teachers who influenced educational practices in late Georgian / early Victorian England, for all the wrong reasons. Joseph Lancaster and Thomas Hopley both started out as idealistic young educators, convinced that they would be the person to bring good quality education to the poor of the industrialised cities. However the near absolute power they were given over their students did eventually corrupt each man leading to a missed opportunity and a completely avoidable tragedy.

The Eastbourne Manslaughter Case - (or) A Depressing History of Corporal Punishment in Schools

The British Isles have thousands of years of history, so it's weird that all most people were taught at school was World War Two, how many wives Henry VIII had and that the Battle of Hastings took place in 1066 (always worth a try if you are trying to guess someones pin number). If you've always wanted to learn about all the bits between these events, but only if it can be done in a random and eclectic manner why not try Consistently Eccentric History? A podcast where each week you can listen in while I tell one of my friends a story about a lesser known person or event in British history, the weirder and less believable the better. With an archive of over 150 episodes you will never again be short a weird historical fact when trying to impress others.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
