Education
Puritan education was quite different than it is now. Children typically started at a school, called Dame School, between six and eight years old. Dame School was a daycare type of home school where kids would learn the basics, reading, writing, etc., as well as scripture. After Dame School the boys would either continue their schooling or learn a trade. If they chose to continue in school they would typically go to a Latin grammar school to prepare for college. In college they would study to pursue a religious career. If they chose to learn a trade they could do almost anything, though most became farmers. Girls were only allowed to continue school at home where they would learn all household skills. There are many differences between then and now, it's a good thing we live in the time we do, we have more ability to further our education now.
