Class, Classics, & the Classroom: A Short History of School

[@iammrbeat]

I'm glad it worked out that our videos are next to each other on the playlist! Well done :)

[@Alliterative]

+Mr. Beat Thank you! Yes, ours fit together really well, I thought--just enough overlap to make the connections, then you went into much more detail about the periods I didn't cover.

[@upandatom]

Remember reading this script, the video turned out really well!

[@Alliterative]

Thanks Jade! And thank you for your help! :)

[@saxoungrammaticus9132]

Here, here, keep on educating us.

[@Alliterative]

Thank you!

[@lreeher]

Ha ha.

[@korakys]

I had a "wait, what?" moment on the etymology of the eye's pupil. Had to pause, go back, and watch it again. Pretty bizarre, but interesting. I can seldom get through one of your videos without at least one pause -- the information density is so great!

[@Alliterative]

It is totally bizarre, to be honest! That was a new discovery for me when I was doing research for an earlier video, and I was glad to get a chance to mention it!

[@harrywalsh2330]

Keep these up! I've been loving expanding my knowledge of linguistics, etymology, and history recently. This channel has some of the highest quality content I've come across and I hope more people find it. Subscribed.

[@Alliterative]

Thank you!

[@WordsFromTheMuck]

Well done, sir. Well done. I loved the info, the depth of the content, and the way you kept it all connected. It's not easy to do all that, but you nailed it. Thank you for your work!

[@Alliterative]

Thank you! Much appreciated!

[@latronqui]

How cool is it that this was posted on my birthday, while I was visiting the city of Salamanca, home of one of the oldest universities?

[@Alliterative]

Oh, how perfect! One of the many places I'd love to visit...

[@ОленаБалан-х2м]

I really liked this video. Here it is clearly shown from what words some English words have occurred. Most of them are from Greek or Latin.

[@puglosipher1666]

This video has some class

[@LightDragon777]

That was so fascinating how you combined the etymologies of the words with the history to tell the story of the development of education. Also, I thought it was funny that "class" came from the root for "to shout", because boy do they ever. :p

[@Alliterative]

Glad you enjoyed it! And I’d not thought of how appropriate that root is! 😆

[@josephburton2656]

This is a truly great video! I have to say that I am often wary of KZbin for history related subjects as many just "research" through Wikipedia. That being said, this is not such a channel. I recently went to a lecture in which many of the facets of Greek and Roman education were discussed and I got the same, if not as in depth, information here. Well, at least I am now confirmed completely in your knowledge and the accuracy of these videos. I also found the last bit, on the formation of universities interesting in that students were often taken advantage of monetarily. Well, I guess some things never change. Anyway, thank you for the videos!

[@Alliterative]

Thank you! That's a great compliment; I do try to do my homework properly (though of course Wikipedia can be a good starting place sometimes), and in fact chasing down the rabbit holes of research is my favourite part of the process! And yes, some things seem to be rather consistent through the years, unfortunately!

[@juanmartin6710]

Great video. Very underrated.

[@TZB2011]

Dr. Mark, The video was simply awesome with its profound content and the pace of delivery with placement of enough etymological facts. Expecting more in this regard. However, the area of reference about the history education was mainly restricted Greece and Rome- Europe. What about Indian or Asian contributions? Awaiting a work based on them also. You made me a fan of your channel, Alliterative. Regards!

[@Alliterative]

Thanks, really glad you enjoyed it! The thing is, because I'm usually tracing the history of words in English, I tend to end up talking about the historical events and ideas that had the most direct impact on and connections to the English speaking world -- which, until the last few hundred years, has meant Europe and England. But I do hope to keep expanding the subjects I cover. I did talk about some Indian history in 'Widow', for instance, though again it was from a fairly English perspective.

[@TZB2011]

@@Alliterative Thanks for the gracious reply. It would be again appreciated if you will share the link for 'widow'.

[@Cadwaladr]

This made me think of a sentence I wrote in Latin class in high school: arduum pensum discipulum non delectat. Although I actually did like doing my Latin homework.

[@Alliterative]

Yay for liking Latin homework! :)

[@bcast9978]

Thank you! Great to hear from you!

[@amanieux]

you did not expend on the age aspect : today class are roughly grouped by age, it was not always like that, or was it ? the interesting idea of not having the same age in a class implies that it respected the individual difference in intelligence or maturity in which students are now grouped by level of understanding and not by level of age.

[@MrEQuoniX]

After watching many videos for my research on education this was the most useful and simple! Subscribed! Your way of explaining through the words is fascinating! I seen from some comments that is a reading script of this? How can I get hold of this script? Thank you!

[@Alliterative]

Thank you! That’s good to hear! If you look in the description of each of our videos there’s a link to a transcript: www.alliterative.net/education-transcript

[@susanmcmaster5810]

Who knew? You're right, many assumptions, e.g. university/universal, turn themselves upside down. Certainly seems to be a need for stronger professor and student unions these troubled times... and weren't they always troubled?

[@victorgustavo4366]

[@hifiunicorn]

This was a wonderfully informative video ! I noticed you didn't mention education from any other cultures. I would be interested in learning about the civilization of the Nile Valley and the oral and written records of their education system.. Thanks so much!

[@Alliterative]

Thanks! Yes, I focused on the systems that are behind the English system, because I’m also focusing on the English language. But there’s fascinating information about education in other cultures out there too!

Why you need eight copies of the Iliad? Shouldn't four or five suffice?

[@Alliterative]

There's no such thing as sufficient books! Especially not translations of classic texts! ;)

[@lafregaste]

I don't think I'm "ancient" but I was hit with wooden and plastic rulers when I was kid. I was a very... active kid? gave enough green hairs to my Mom during my elementary education and part of my pre-k education too. I don't think they hit me too hard, possibly cause I presented as a girl, but I do remember once my teacher was so angry at me he broke the plastic ruler on my hands. I don't remember what I did, but I do remember the exclamation of surprise from my school mates, and my teacher's red face. Again, I was too energetic and had a very... problematic creativity/imagination. I calmed down a lot when I entered high school, so I only remember being scolded once. I had participated with a group of boys in spitting chewed pieces of paper up to the ceiling of our classroom. It was a brilliant idea on my part, at least that's what I thought at that time, to use the pen's plastic tube as a "blowgun", so the sticky paper would fly higher, reach the ceiling and stick to it. The teachers took 2 weeks or so to realize what we were doing and by then almost the whole back of the classroom's ceiling was remodeled with dried hard paper. Hahahahaha. I didn't really know what an asshole I was being to the cleaning staff of the school or I wouldn't have done that. I was almost not caught thou. When the principal said for the culprits to stand up and of course nobody did, he threaten to call all parents, so, some girls started naming people. At least 7 boys lined the front of the class and the principal was starting with his admonishment when 1 girl, I think she didn't like me much, said my name. The principal couldn't believe I had done such a thing... well, in his defense, he didn't know of my previous history, and I had acted nothing short of a saint during that year he knew me. But forced by that girl and him asking to "know the truth" I had to accept my responsibility. Thankfully again, since I was passing as a girl I was not asked to do laps like the boys, but write a thousand times something along the lines of "not destroy public/private property".

school is a form of child abuse, if forcing a kid to be somewhere they don't want to be, do things they don't want to do and deal with people they don't want do deal with is not child abuse , I don't know what is..there are tons of ways to educate your son/daughter other sending them to school.
