People assume that education has changed a lot over the last couple thousand years. Some things have changed, but for the most part, people are wrong and education and learning have stayed quite similar through the ages. In this article we'll look at things that are very modern, things that are very old, and things in-between, and see that as things change they often stay the same. 'Edict of Maximum Prices' by Diocletian 301 AD In ancient Rome there were price controls. This included teaching fees. I've taken a section of those prices here so we can see the value hierarchy of different types of teaching. These prices are in denarius communis, which was an accounting currency at the time.

This article is like a journey. A journey to colonial Massachusetts, ancient Athens, the magical land of King Arthur, and a small perfect society formed by Henry Ford. 'The Old Deluder Satan Act; Or, The Massachusetts General School Law of 1647' Massachusetts has a long and interesting history of education. The first school founded in the American British colonies was the Boston Latin School in 1635.

(Franklin only attended one year when he was 8, and then went to an English school the next year, and then left school to start working when he was 10, but he still technically went there for a short time.) Massachusetts was also the first colony to pass a public school law in 1642. More famous are the adjustments made in 1647 by 'The Old Deluder Satan Act'.
