=Boys Versus Girls Ancient Greece:=


 * __SPARTA__**

=In Ancient Sparta boys and girls were raised to have the perfect bodies, or suffer the consequences. In Sparta both boys and girls were sent to military school at the age of 7. The boys once 7 trained and slept in the barracks of their brotherhood. They were taught survival skills and other skills necessary to be a great soldier, most skills if failed were dealt with harsh punishment. students were taught to read and write but they weren't as important as physical ability. when the boys turned 18 they were sent into the unforgiving wild and told to survive no matter what. Just don't get caught. = =Spartan girls also went to military school at the age 7, they lived, slept, and trained in the sisterhood. There isn't much info on whether or not they were cruel or rugged as the boys. The girls were taught wrestling, gymnastics, and combat skills. Some historians believe the girls taught the boys. Basically strong women strong babies. =

__**ATHENS** __

==In Athens they focused more on education for the boys. They did physical training stuff when they went off to school. Boys were allowed to do way more than the girls did. Girls stayed at home and learned things from their mothers. Over all Athens Society wanted well rounded people.==
