Education

The boys learned how to write, read and quote literature. They also learned how to play a musical instrument and were trained for the military. Boys went to school at the age of 7 or went to the barracks if they lived in Sparta. Also the girls learned how to read, write and do simple arithmetic so they could manage the household.

The kids used to have reading classes, writing, math, singing and instrument.Ya think thats a lot!! Wow I wish school was like that for me......
