Dame Schools was a common tern used to describe small private schools that provided an education for working class children before they were old enough to work. These schools were usually run by an elderly woman who taught the children to read and write and other useful skills such as sewing.

Answer: Dame schools were small and private, meant to teach the young how to work. This was eventually frowned upon and can now rarely be found throughout the world, though still upheld in certain parts of Africa.
