William Shakespeare

Both William Shakespeare’s parents couldn’t read or write. He had a free education. He went to the King Edward IV Grammar School when he was seven years old. Sometimes
the school boys would start school at six in the morning
and sometimes ended at six in the evening. Shakespeare stopped school when he was 14 because of his father. It is not known what he did after that but he definitely did something. He probably baked or farmed. He also may have written in his free time. Shakespeare must have wrote because he definately would grow up to be a great writer.
