The age range for children attending school in the olden days varied considerably depending on the time and place. In general, children started school at a young age, often around 5 or 6 years old. However, in some cases, children may have started as young as 3 or 4 years old, while in others, they may not have started until they were 7 or 8 years old.
The upper age limit for school attendance also varied, but it was typically around 14 or 15 years old. However, in some cases, children may have left school earlier, such as at 12 or 13 years old, while in others, they may have continued their education until they were 16 or 17 years old.
