Philosophy/Education
In Timitopolis, education played a major role in society. Each male child raised in Timitopolis was allowed to attend private and or public school at the age of seven. Girls were not allowed to go to these schools, however they were allowed to be home schooled. During this time the students were mainly taught reading and writing, and in secondary school, math and science. Also, the boys learned physical education. In some parts of ancient Greece there was test judging your physical abilities. Timitopolis took this idea and changed it a little. Each student that turned eighteen they each took an IQ test instead of a test that judges physical ability. It ranked how they would contribute to the society. for the society. The top 70% continued with their studies learning politics, philosophy, the arts, and more math and science. Some of these jobs consisted of political rulers (council of five-hundred or the ecclesia council) mathematicians, scientists, playwrights, actors, ect. The students between 60% and 69% became middle class citizens (farmers, merchants, tradesmen, contractors, ect.). Finally, the remaining the remaining 59% went into the military.
These images display discrimination towards women in Timitopolan society, because they were not permitted to public or private schools as men were.
