What was education in colonial times like?

It ALL depended on who you were, what "class" you lived in, and what gender you were. In general, men were given more oppurtunity to have an education then women. Poor men had little hope of having a very thorogh education. Most people believed that all women needed to know was about keeping the home. Women weren't even allowed to attend college !!! Even still some men believed women should be educated and opened schools where young girls could learn to, read ,write, greek or latin, arithmetic, and a few other subjects. As for men, besides having the upperhand (when it comes to an education) most young men learned the trade there father knew. It was usually frowned upon for a teen boy to enter a apprentiship under a different trade then their father's. The upperclass men attended college (Harvard, William and Mary, ect.). Hope this helps !, sincerely, Bethany but most women coulg fo to collage but that's if there husbands would let them go but other then that most wamen didnt learn anything

What was a person called who learned a trade from someone else?

A person who learns a trade for a skilled member of that trade is often called an "apprentice." In the old days, before college and vocational schools, young men (and a few young women) would apprentice themselves to a skilled tradesman to learn to be a blacksmith, a silversmith, a glassblower, a carpenter, or other occupations. Today, there are still professions which require a combination of school and apprenticeship.
