Starting in Greece, education was ONLY provided for men. (Women were expected to be a home, raise the children, and do all the chores) Scholars and Philosophers taught young little boys math, science, language. That was one part of Greece. Spartans on the other hand were taught how to fight and kill. To them, War was more valuable than how many numbers you knew. Education for males only, continued for thousands of years. The only exception was the royal family. All the princesses and princes were taught languages, literature, history, math, and science. Princes were given more care since they would be kings one day. Religion was taught as well but that class was praying in Church, reading your Scriptures everyday, and communion(if you were Catholic, like most European Countries). By the late 1700's, girls were attending school. If your family could afford the school fee's, you were welcomed. This didn't just happen in Europe but, as well as North America. In the Victorian Age, school consisted of middle class and upper class. The poor couldn't afford it so many children worked in the factories. Fast forward to the late 1900's in North America, classes were being divided by colour of the skin. If you read or see BROWN VS. BOARD, you can learn more about the fight to have children of all races in one classroom. In todays time, school is for everyone at any age. We still have math, literature, history, science, language, but its broader than before. Now, you can travel all around the world to receive an education. A bigger plus? Technology!
Learn and be Educated My Friends!
Until Next Time!
