Greek Education

The future of a Greek child only depends on its father. If its father decides it is a bad child he will leave him on top of a mountain. If it was a good child the father and mother would raise it to be a normal Greek. Greek kids learned pretty much the same subjects that we take.

For example the Greeks take math, architecture, poetry, social, L.A. and science as their core subjects. Greek teachers were often very strict with the kind of behaviour going on in their classroom. If the children refused to listen the teacher would send them home.

In Sparta, children started military training at age seven and in all of Ancient Greece the poor children would not have to go to school because helping their families around the house was more important those days.
