Alex has a dream that his school disappears, which leads to the question, where did schools come from in the first place? Timeblazers Sam and Jen take him back to prehistoric times, when children learned everything they needed to know from their parents. Then they travel to 330 B.C. to Aristotle's Lyceum in Ancient Greece; they go to Sparta, where boys were trained to become fighting warriors. Next they travel to the Middle Ages when only monks received a serious education, until young people began to be educated at Notre Dame in Paris. Then they travel to the United States prairie land during the 1800s, when pioneering children received their entire education in a one-room schoolhouse.
