Describe a spartan upbringing. How does this differ from the childhood of an American child?
Gnoma [55]
In Sparta, the boys were taken from their homes and forced to live in a military school and learn to fight, steal, and murder helots then served in the army until they were 60 while the girls learned to wrestle and defend the city while the men were away at battle. In today's American society, all children are required to get an education in math, science, English, and history. They are not taken from their homes and have a choice of whether or not they want to enter the army.
