Viking children did not leave home to attend school. Children learned a simple education at home, usually taught by a parent. When children were old enough they learned how to help their parents with daily chores. The boys would help on the farm or learn a craft and the girls would learn sewing and cooking. Poetry and music were taught to children from wealthier families. Some children who were not needed at home were sent to work for other families.
