Violence In Schools During The 18th Century

I will be talking about violence in schools. For as long as the 17th Century, schoolchildren in Europe, mainly children from aristocratic and noble family. They would wear swords and carry guns to school frequently. In early 18th Century, there were violent students in the University of Paris that got to the point where the King of France had to dispatch troops. During the 18th Century in England, high-esteemed schools such as Rugby and Eton, which are private schools known to be prestigious had many student rebellions where they would burn their books and desks, to the point army troops had to disband them. Late in the 18th Century, the most common and frequent kind of disorderly conduct was barring out the master, which is a common practice
