What does your book say?

Answered by Daniela
It's a worksheet with four documents and the first document says that their education was basically to communicate in war, and the starvation diet encouraged kids to steal their own food and this prepared them for war time conditions, also this helps them be a little sneaky and clever during the war.

The third and fourth documents state that they trained a lot and if they had leisure time they would learn from older people or teach people younger then them, the fourth document states that the Spartans made themselves more intimidating to the enemy by priming up for battle.

It's just asking if they reached their goal right
Answered by Daniela
The extent that they achieved their goal was learning and training hard for war. Am I on the right track?

Is this an okay answer or not?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Sparta's goal was to preserve (save) the Spartan city-state.

Considering it was a powerful city-state for about 280 years, I would say it reached its goal. After it was defeated by Thebes, it still remained an independent city-state for another couple hundred years.
