Talk:History of education in ancient Israel and Judah

[untitled]
The article states that the subjects students were required to learn included "counting, basic chemistry, physics and astronomy, writing, geography, agriculture and animal biology, history, accounting and economy, social and cultural role differences, basic medicine and pharmacology, and many others." I believe this is a gross overstatement. While these subjects were brought up in the literature that was required of students, they were only in the form of a quote that one rabbi would say has some relevancy to the religious subject at hand. The mentioned topics were rarely, to my knowledge, ever studied in of themselves or at all in depth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.28.138.203 (talk) 00:28, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

The article is about education in ancient Israel (~1300 BCE), but cites much more modern sources such as the Talmud and the Mitzvot (>200 CE, or >1500 years later). When the nation of Israel left Egypt as slaves (~1446 BCE), they had no time for any formal education (e.g., see Ex 1:11-14), and were therefore likely illiterate. The article should provide evidence and references to indicate when and how they became more educated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.83.38.91 (talk) 18:29, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Multiple problems, Merge with Jewish education
Most of the content does not relate to "ancient Israel & Judah" (or even second Temple period) but rather to the period after the exile, and the destruction of the second temple. There isn't enough information about Education in ancient Israel and Judah to justify creating a separate page, any (worthy) information from should be moved to the Jewish education page.

Lead uses traditional/religious dating of the torah (1300 BCE) rather than the academically accepted dating (after 7th century BCE).

Contains unsourced romantic revisionism such as:

"Education began at the age of six or seven[1] and continued throughout life"

Education included "basic chemistry, physics and astronomy, writing, geography, agriculture and animal biology, history, accounting and economy, social and cultural role differences, basic medicine and pharmacology, and many others."

Claims of women being educated - "women did know how to read and write (despite popular belief to the contrary)."
