What did they teach for education in the Middle Ages for the townspeople?

The townspeople didn't really have education, that was mostly for the higher classes. The closest thing to education was religion, as the church was the central governing and cultural body during the Middle Ages. \n\nThe townspeople couldn't read, and printing was expensive before the Gutenberg Bible was first printed in 1455. To help solve this problem the stainglass in cathedrals were used to tell Biblical stories. \n\nAlso, tradesmen put pictures of their jobs as signs outside their shops instead of words. For example, a baker would have a picture of a loaf of bread outside his door, instead of a sign saying "Bakery".

They focused on the idea of chivalry in a time when lords and knights had little morals to guide them.  The Arthurian legends helped introduce the idea of chivalry to the upper classes of Europe in the Middle Ages.

There were centers of learning and scholarship.  They often helped to bring heavily forested land and wetlands into agricultural production.  They were more like a mirror of society-at-large than the cells of the desert hermits.\n\nIs this a homework question?

The schools themselves should be able to provide you that information. Also, there is usually a county historian or an archive at your local public library.

well the poor were apprenticed into either the father or mothers trade. dad taught boys mom taught girls. that was for a large majority and yeah they did have scribes and such to but an exception to the rule for a majority of the people. think politicians and ceos got the good stuff.

Nice use of Rome as an example. Only that you left out the part where the Romans treated the Goths and Visigoths as a source of cheap but more often as slave labor. \n\nSounds very familiar.

I'm betting that Home Economics was there.  Cooking and Sewing.   In the 1970s, our school had a "Bachelor Living" course for the guys.  Frankly, those boys could sew and we were jealous of their talent when the dress shirts they had made were put on display!\n\nThey also had typing and shorthand courses, like my grandmother took.  They tell me she could type 90 wpm on one of those old, old, old style typewriters!  She worked for a newspaper typing ariticles for the reporters until she married my grandfather.  \n\nI hope this helps.\n\nSue\n\nBut in the 1920s, there were just some things girls didn't learn, and some things they did.

fairly good as they were entering hte renaisance and feudalism was declining as a merchant class emerged creating specification in jobs. this left people open to explore other, more creative options, and it brought europe out of the subsistance livng it had been in in the so called "dark ages" or medieval times...this is when the arts were pursued, and actually encouraged to be studied. of course there were wars goign on...like with england as usual(this was the time of henry the 8th, queen mary tudor, and eventually in 1588, elizabeth...) but they were doing fairly well, captureing calais back form the english even...

I dont think it was so much their beliefs but the state of the area.  Europe was very close if not the poorest area of the world in the middle ages.  The world of Islam was wealtheir and were taking time to translate ancient greek and roman works.  With this also comes a desire for new ideas and thinking.  The only literate people in europe were some nobels and clergy.  Most of their works were focused on religion and the bible.  Because of this alot of science and the like was ignored until the crusades and the contact with Islamic people.
