Most children were poor and so they left school aged seven to go to work. Boys and girls could earn pennies for their families working as cleaners, and doing farm work like running around the fields to scare crows away from the crops, feeding chickens, looking after sheep, or collecting wool & spinning it. Because writing was, traditionally, only taught from the age of seven upwards many children learnt to read but never learnt to write. From the age of 7, if you were lucky, you went to grammar school where you not only learnt to write using a quill and ink, but would also start to learn Latin and then Greek. The grammar schools were mostly educating boys. Girls, like Princess Elizabeth and other women who were of royal and noble families, were educated at home, but only if their families were rich.
