 Elizabethan Education
William Shakespeare's parents were both illiterate but because of John Shakespeare's standing in the community, and the fact that with his election to the position of Alderman came the free education of his children, it is safe to assume that he took full advantage of this fringe benefit!
The boys, including William Shakespeare, were expected to converse in Latin at all times in order to improve their spoken fluency in the language and any boy caught speaking English at school was punished.
William Shakespeare, however, was withdrawn from school and education at the age of fourteen in 1578 due to the financial problems being experienced by his father.
