Answer:

Boys and girls started being tutored by their fathers or slaves until they were 6 years old. Then, the boys went off to school. They had to get up early and walked through crowded streets while carrying leather shoulder bags. They didn't have beakfast at home. Instead they ate at local breakfast bars and bought beans, nuts,and freshly baked bread to eat on their way to class. At school, students sat on stools that were scatered around a tutor. They were able to use pointed pens ,that were called a stylus, to copy down lessons on a small, wax covered wooden boards. They erased their writing after they were done with the flat side of the stylus. School lasted until two or three o'clock. The boys in Ancient Rome studied Latin, Greek, math, science, literature, music, and public speaking. They usually became soldiers, doctors, politicains, or lawyers. The boys were enrolled in school until the age 12 or 13 years old. If the family wanted to keep the boy in school, he would continue school until the age of 16. Girls could become dentists, realestate agents, or tutors.

I hope this answers you question!!
