I am Andronicus, an eleven year old Roman boy. I go to school everyday. My average school day begins like this. I wake up and say a prayer to the Gods. I call to my slave and say to him, "Undress me, and tidy everything up. Hurry up and make my bed. He is slow so I chide him by saying, "Slave, do it quickly. Why are you so slow?" Water is brought and the detritus is poured away.
I go out of my bedroom with my tutor (paidagogos) and my nurse to greet my father and mother. I greet them both and kiss them both. I go to find my writing kit and my exercise book and give them to my slave. Then everything is ready. Followed by my tutor, I go out of the house and set off to school.
My slave attendant walks behind me, carrying m books. Comportment is a guide to status. On the way to school, I greet my friends, worship the gods and prayed that the day would turn out well. On entering the school, I am kissed by my schoolmaster, who asks me if I have brought along the school fees. I have yet again forgotten to ask my mother for them. You can scarcely imagine my embarrassment and shame. I hide my embarrassment by asserting myself with my friends. I tell them, "Move up, that is my place, I was sitting there". I quarrel with a fellow pupil over whose turn it is to do an exercise. I say, "You are a liar", and he says, "No, I am not." I present my work to the schoolmaster, who praises me, but flogs other students.
I make my way through the portico which leads to school. My school fellows come to meet me. I greet them and they greet me back. I come to the staircase. I go up the stairs quietly; I raise the curtain, and greet the assistant teachers. I greet the master and he kisses me.
