What was like on ancient times? In Greece,2500 years ago, students used to get up at dawn to go to school. Classes began very early and ended went it was dark. Students didn't rest on the weekend. They had classes seven days a week, so they didn't have much time for anything else. In Athens, only the sons of rich people went to school, and they started school around the age of seven. After they learned to read and write, they used to study Greek poetry and historical works. music was very important, and physical training was also important. Teacher used to his students who didn't pay attention or ware lazy. Girl stayed at home with their mother and learned how to do work in home.
In ancient Rome, boys and girl from wealthy families received a bilingual education. They had to study Greek and Latin. Students usually had outside, if the weather was good, or in the teacher's house. Young students sat on the floor. Older students used to sit on benches, higher up. That's how "high school" got its name.
Education was very important to the ancient Aztac of Mexico. Boys and girls used to attend school, but they were kept separate from one another. They learned Aztec history, myths, and rituals, but they memorized everything because there weren't any textbooks. The boys received intensive military training, and the girl learned how to manage children of nobility and another for children of ordinary families.
