The Romans adopted Greek medicine, their siege engines and their catapults (balistas). Latin literature was inspired by the epics, tragedies and comedies of the Greeks. The educators of the elites were Greek and Roman education was both in Latin and Greek. Roman elite men were fluent in Greek Roman elite boys learned Greek rhetoric. Two schools of Greek philosophy (stoicism and epicureanism) became popular. Some young men went to Greece to learn Greek rhetoric and/or philosophy. Greek sculptors were hired to make fine statues.
They were educated by their parents in farming or trades, and this went on until they had acquired the skills in their late teens.
The Romans primarily educated children from wealthy families until the age of twelve. This education typically focused on reading, writing, and arithmetic, along with rhetoric and grammar. Boys often continued their education with a tutor or in formal schools, while girls' education was less formalized and often centered around domestic skills. Education for the lower classes was minimal and often limited to practical skills.
The Romans did not have state school. The had classes run by teachers for a fee. Wealthy families had private tutors. They taught mostly boys, who started their education at the age of seven.
The greek came up with the difference of public and private schools as we use today but now we changed it by having both girls and boys, rich and poor all together.
The Greek word for "Boy" is "αγόρι".
Spartan boys were taught to fight, kick, spit, bite, scratch and get into fights with other boys. Athenian boys were learnt to be polite and to be civilised.
The Greek boys (girls received an education at home by their mother) would be transported to school by a slave named a Paidagogos who would also sit in the lessons with the boys too. The Paidagogos would take the boys to school at sunrise and obey them with staffs if they were at all late.
Greek education differed from city-state to city-state. In Athens boys were tutored at home from 7 to 13 years old then went to school to learn athletics, philosophy and history. They were also required to enroll in a two year military school at the age of 18. Spartan boys were sent to military school at the age of 7 and did not return home until they were in their late teens and early twenties.

The Romans largely took over the Greeks' 'pantheon' (assembly) of Gods and based their theories on rhetoric and philosophy on the earlier Greek philosophers. So basically the Greeks were the major influence on Roman 'thinking'. Add to that the fact that every noble family had its boys - the future leaders of Rome - raised by Greek tutors, and that every educated Roman had Greek as his second language.
