The history of teaching in Greece might reasonably be called the history of teaching in the Western world, so profound was its influence. Much of modern education is based on the traditions and disciplines established by the early Greek teachers.
Education was an important part of life for wealthy children in ancient Greece. Though school was a privilege of the upper class, almost all children of leading families began their education around the time of their seventh birthdays.
For their lessons the students used a wax-covered board with a stylus to carve out letters in the wax. When completed, the wax was smoothed over again and reused. The subjects taught were reading, writing, basic math, music and physical training.
Middle-class boys might study for three to four years, while children from upper class families might spend most of their youth being educated.
