Schools were rare. Where schools existed, they could not interfere with the farm work, so they were only open one to three months during the year. The main reason for schools was to teach the students to read The Bible and to do simple math. If he wanted to go to college, a young man studied with hid minister who taught him Latin and Greek. Colonists did not think it was important to educate girls, but some were educated by their fathers and brothers.
