Education


In Sparta, children went through military training school from ages seven to eighteen, after that they went to military training outside school for two years. Spartans believed that healthy women gave birth to strong babies so they had to be athletic to.
People in Athens learned to fight, write and read. They learned math, music and other physical training from ages seven to eighteen. After that they went through extra public speaking training for two years. In school they used wax boards and sticks to write, afterwards the board would be smoothed and reused for each class. In gym classes they usually did running, long jump, and fighting practice with wood swords. Once they turned twelve, the students used real weapons to practice.
