@konah619: In northern Greece, beneath the ground, lay a place that for centuries was nothing more than a legend. A group of archaeologists discovered the site of the school of Mieza, the complex where Aristotle taught the young Alexander the Great more than 2,300 years ago. Yes, the very same philosopher and the very same future conqueror who would change the history of the ancient world. It was founded by King Philip II as a training center for the Macedonian elite. It wasn’t just a simple hall with benches: it had stone classrooms, athletic facilities, and even banquet halls, because here, people were educated in mind, but also in body and social life. According to the research, this suggests that the origins of state-promoted public, comprehensive education may be traced back to Macedonia—a model that later spread throughout the ancient world. And think about it for a moment: the way we understand school today may have taken root in this corner of Greece.
