they go to school, of course! school is for more than learning abcs and 123s. kids have been going to school for thousands of years, but what they learned depended on when and where they lived.sparta, greece, 320bcsparta has only one kind of school, the agoge. sparta boys started school at about age seven. they learned many things: reading, writing, arithmetic, poetry, dance, music, and public speaking. they also got some tough training designed to make them strong, disciplined soldiers.florence, italy, 1450adflorentines realized that if they taught good math skills to kids, the kids would grow up to be better at their jobs. in the 1400s, florence had schools called abbaco school, where boys learned finger reckoning, a kind of math sign language. they studied multiplication, money, weights and measures. after finishing abbaco school at 12 or 13 years old, many students started working at banks or as merchants right away.paris, france, 1600adfor many centuries, teenagers have been workers in training. this meant a young boy must go to live with a master who was very skilled at a certain job. the parents paid the master, and the student ate, slept, and worked at the masters workshop. most teenagers started at about 11 or 12 years of age. how long they lived and worked with a master depended on the trade they were learning, most of which lasted seven to eight years.england, 1850adin 19th-century england, parents who could afford it sent their sons to private boarding schools. boarding school students learned little that would help them at work. instead they learned latin, greek, ancient history, and geography. parents believed that these studies would make their sons better people. boys might study french, fencing, music, or dance, but no math and science. students interested in them should pay extra for a lecturer who visited the school once every year or two.33. which school offered students the military training?
