Education
The first
knowledge and information the child would have is from home, as the children used
to stayed home with their mother to learn how to speak, walk, listen etc. During this the children grew very close to their
mother and had a strong respect for them.
Once a boy has reached the age of four, he is passed on to his father to
learn more about his father’s job and how it was done because the boy was most
likely to have the same job as his father.
The girls stayed home with their mothers to learn more about caring for
a family and a household. Poor families
were always just educated at home.
There were
not many children who actually went to a school, the only children that
attended a school were those of wealthy families who are intending on their
children to be like them, educated and wealthy. For families that were wealthy but not at
the top of the chart they would send their children off to learn to read,
write, learn about trade and more.
Most
of these children went to a scribal school.
However, it was normally males who went to school even if the girl’s
family was wealthy. The royal family had
their own special tutors come to them.
Most lessons would begin early in the morning and finish up in mid afternoon.
