The responsibilities of monks did not include teaching. Only those few children sent to join the monastery would be taught, and only by the magister puerum (master of the boys) who was responsible for looking after and educating them - the other monks played no part in this.
Education consisted of learning to read, write and speak Latin, often using passages from Classical authors or simply the service books used in the Holy Offices (church services). There would be frequent verbal tests to check on progress. The boys would also be taught the daily routine of the monastery, how to behave, how to dress and undress without exposing themselves, how to obey and respect their elders and how to find their way around the precinct if sent on an errand.
