How did children live in Elizabethan England?

Most lived in poverty, but in Elizabethan times there was little war and more education. It expanded to where even some of the poor could attend school for the first time. Boys began at age four, girls at seven. Many towns had a parish school taught by the local vicar. Children learned English, math, the Christian faith, and classical Greek and Latin. Teachers practiced strict corporal punishment.
But most children worked at a young age, especially on farms. Over nine tenths of English were peasants working for lords. A third of the land worked was solely for nobility, some for the church, the rest for the peasants. Contrary to popular image, most people at the time waited until their twenties to marry.
