Pedagogy is the art or science of being a teacher and of learning.The word pedagogy comes from the Greek word paidagōgeō, which means "to lead the child." In Ancient Greece, rich men had a slave to instruct their sons as a tutor, or to take them to the academy. Girls were almost entirely home schooled, but many boys went to school even if they had a tutor.
