  1. Spartan education Boys at the age of 7 leave their homes and enter school. They taught the children to read and write but as they got older they were trained to fight. They were trained to be smart, strong, violent, disciplined, unquestioning, and ruthless young men. Apart from the school work the goal was to make soldiers and a well disciplined marching army.
