What did kids do for education in the colonial southern colonies?

Answer:
A little more correctly: What did the kids do for an education in the Southern Colonies? Aristocratic and middle class male children were home schooled by tutors until their teens. The others, including Aristocratic and middle class women, usually weren't educated. Ministers were a large part of the tutoring labour pool.

If they were to enter the law or, more usually, to become ministers, they were sent to college around age 16. England had the major colleges until William and Mary was established to produce ministers. One could, up until this century and still so on the statutes, read into the law without college which was just an apprenticeship with a lawyer.
