Document Summary
Expected to learn to read material often tied to religion. Go to small school in the village most teachers have no training. Expected to learn to write mainly for boys, b/c they had to prepare for creating/signing contracts, etc. Pluck feather from bird as pen (no pencils until ~1870) Paper wasn"t easy to produce higher quality paper for newspapers (paper&ink is scarce and expensive) Penmanship = varied because personal letters, business letters, so had to know 4-5 styles. Much less emphasis on math + science (not really taught at the basic level) no history. For most people this was all their education. Example: ben franklin only had 2 years of schooling. Offers more advanced work if you want to prepare for college. Offered coursework for those headed for law or medicine. Not required (some people hired tutors, went for apprenticeships) Don"t spit into fire, esp if meat is roasting there. Don"t pick lice from your hair in front of others.
