I want my child, Little Bear, to have friends and learn appropriate social skills of course, but everything about school bewilders me. They are going to be away from me for how many hours? Six, eight? Why aren’t they home learning what they actually need to know, how to maintain a garden and farm, how to cook and preserve foods, how to sew clothing, how to make toys, jewelry, baskets, etc, how to take care of their family member’s needs.. Why are our children at school?
