The slaves in Rome were not limited from being educated. You are confusing ancient slavery with American slavery. The ancient slaves were often highly educated as they were their master's assistants in many cases. They were also sometimes teachers, physicians and scribes. Many slaves had positions of authority.
Where did you ever get the idea that the Roman slaves were uneducated? True, some of the farm slaves were illiterate, but the city slaves were sometimes highly educated. Slaves were the physicians, Accountants, and their owner's surrogates in many business matters. Former slaves, could become very wealthy men, as exemplified during the reign of the emperor Claudius. Please don't confuse ancient slavery with American slavery. In American slavery, education was forbidden for slaves and gross mistreatment was in many cases the norm. In ancient slavery attitudes were very, very different.
Slaves were uneducated by their masters because their masters feared that they would revolt or find a way to get out of there.
Yes. Because back then slaves werent treated like human beings.
Slaves were most likely not educated due to racism and tradition. Later on, some domestic slaves had to be educated depending on the job assigned to the by their owner.
Roman slaves became slaves at the time, because they were either prisoners of war, born into slavery or were criminals being punished. Therefore, different slaves would have different traditions. There were educated slaves that would teach or cook, for example, and they were treated better. These slaves were probably allowed to have their own traditions (free time, at all) The uneducated slaves were treated poorly, but were also typically prisoners of war or criminals, and they would often work on public projects with guards.
If they werent doing their work correctly, he would whip them with a lash.
They were slaves and it was against the law to teach them.
The educated slaves from Greece were those slaves who were schooled right along with their owner's children. The same for the Roman slaves. An educated slave was more useful to his master than an illiterate.

Educated slaves usually worked as scribes for their master. They would listen to what their master said and transcribed it into words. If they were trusted enough they could also serve as accounts, or cooks.
Most Roman slaves never learned to read or write, those that did were either taught by another educated slave, or their master sent them to a Gramaticus (school) to learn. Also some slaves were teachers.

What Roman slaves wore depended on whether they were educated or not. Regular slaves wore clothing of the cheapest material while educated slaves wore clothes made of better material. Though slave's clothing did not even compare to a patrician's (wealthy person's) clothing. Slaves working in the mines and quarries went naked.

Slavery was an important part of Roman society. There were two types of slaves. The educated slaves who were employed as teachers, accountants and other skilled professionals and the uneducated slaves who worked in farms, mines and homes. Slaves were considered the property of their master and had no rights under the law. Their lives were hard and they were often exposed to corporal punishment and sexual exploitation.
No, they did not, nobody had time or inclination to educate slaves.
