Education
Education in Rome was very important to boys. Without education there would be no success for them. Only children from wealthy families went to school. Poor children didn't get a chance to go to school, they helped with work. There are 12 students in a class, classes started very early. Their school started on March 24th. They were educated by using wax tablets to write and scratch on. Girls had to stop school at the age of twelve due to them having to get married. Boys left school at the age of 16 to become something like a public speaker. The rich had tutors come to their house and teach them. Learning in a Roman school was fear, boys would get beaten for the slightest offence as a belief existed that a boy would learn correctly and accurately if he feared being caned if he got something wrong.
