| 359215 | 2005-05-28 07:05:00 | Greetings people, my sister has to complete her English assignment involving so-called "Elizabethan Times". She had tried googling for it, but not much positive results came back. (I haven't check on that yet) Below is the key questions she needs to answer. What kind of education does the children have? what is the difference between the education now and then? What influences on the subjects that the students have chosen on them? I am hoping that senior members like Terry and Graham_L have something to tell. Much thanks. Cheers :) |

I somehow doubt that Terry and Graham_L were born then either. I could be wrong though. Question 1. Try this link www.likesnail.org.uk Question 2. Use the same link above. Question 3. Don't know. Wasn't there. HTH |

Why on earth would you think Elizabethan times were in the 1960s? :confused: Anyway, I'm not much help but schooling was only for the well-off or fortunate. And was very basic. Reading and writing, history of England from a non-catholic perspective, good behaviour, and the church catechism. The link Nigel gave has plenty to help. |

Misty :cool: |

| 359222 | 2005-05-28 09:09:00 | We are still living in Elizabethan times (given pre-republican or at least proto-monarchist NZ) but you have to decide which Elizabethan age you want to research. I suggest you try "Elizabeth 1" or "elizabeth the first" something like that strike a light must be heaps on Google. :D :eek: :) :mad: |

Why on earth would you think Elizabethan times were in the 1960s? :confused: Missed a bit of schooling himself, perhaps. Only the rich got any. As has been said plus a few classical languages. Everyone else was too busy slaving. |

| 359224 | 2005-05-28 09:24:00 | Nope, can't remember back as far at the 1500s, can vaguely remember James VI of Scotland succeeding Liz I, and becoming James I of England in 1601. Schooling in those days was provided by the churches, charities, philanthropists, and wealthy merchants organisations like Merchant Taylors. Henry VIII broke with the Roman Church and dissolved the monasteries which had been the main providers of education. I've found a few sites that give a bit of run up to Elizabethan times and maybe complements Nigels sites: www.headlinehistory.co.uk(3).htm (scroll down to Boys education) www.britannia.com www.chass.utoronto.ca |
