What was roman education like?

Answer 1

Boys were usually taught Greek and Latin (reading and writing) , as well as counting up until the ages of 6 or 7, but after that, it was the father's choice to send the boys to grammar school or continue previous teachings. Girls were taught by their mothers to run a household; e.g. cook, sew, clean, etc.

Answer 2

Roman children could go to school. Although I don't think they were taught that well. It wasn't compulserary to go to school. Some rich families could have their children taught by a tutor in small groups.

Answer 3

Romans received their education in different stages. They were first introduced to school at home by their mother or if they were wealthy by a slave. Then they went off to a primary school at about the age of 7. A secondary school was next and then studying abroad usually in Greece. Bear in mind though, that all this cost money and the poor or even some middle class simply could not afford to sent their children to school. In addition, the wealthy generally had tutors for their children in their own homes.

Answer 4

Roman schools were strict, long hours and no weekends off. There was rigorous training in reading, writing, both in Latin and Greek, some rhetoric, and a lot of memorizing. Most of the times the student had to be at their assigned spaces before dawn as the classes began at first light. These were the condition sf the formal schools. There were also lower schools, some out in the open in a park or public square where the poorer students learned math, reading and writing at a basic level.

Answer 5

Good for rich people-they sometimes had tutors, but poor children would probably not get an education.

Answer 6

Latin, and the higher educational system.
