@udongle @King_Noticer @cjd I'll repost this chart since it's very indicative of things

Child labor laws caused this problem, legislation aimed at keeping kids out of mines and factories and other dangerous conditions also forcibly kept them out of the family business, and families had less reason to have kids in the first place since not being able to work made them more burdensome.

The solution as always is subsidizing protecting and encouraging more family run businesses where the parents can educate and employ their kids which trains them and teaches them better than public education and modern entry level jobs.

@cjd Age-segregated schooling is the pinnacle of gay, soul-killing, modernist managerial tripe. Hierarchies are how children are supposed to learn, either from adults or older children. Learning from the herd as opposed to from elders teaches inferiority and barbarism.

I've been thinking for a while now that apprenticeship seems like the best form of education in general. It guarantees the kid will have real, marketable skills. It encourages family lines by fathers taking their sons as apprentices. And if people actually make a point to find an apprentice inherit their position get old there will be a steady supply of replacements already trained to take over these skilled positions, excess boys can be apprenticed off to people who don't have any sons. If the need for a trade increases more apprentices can be found, both for their immediate labor free their skilled masters to focus on the difficult parts, and to eventually increase the number of tradesmen in general. Obviously many boys won't be apprenticed, there's always a need for unskilled labor and some will join the academia or clergy (speaking of which we should also bring back the clergy as a class of society) or whatever. Many of those will be children of the elites who don't wan their kids lowing their status to a tradesman, and generally the elites will do their own thing in any society. The lower classes however might well be able to get their son an apprenticeship and raise him out of the laborer class; if their lucky and seize the chance when it arises. A steady class of tradesmen allows for an actual middle class, above laborers but below the elites.

Though I don't think such a system could really work in our current economy, where you have to be hired by some company rather than being your local cobbler or whatever. Massed produced goods greatly diminished the value of trades; cobblers don't' really exist anymore, you buy your shoes from the automated shoe factory potentially on the other side of the world. Companies also require immediate return on each new employee. They can't really be bothered to train each one of them into a skilled worker, they need to find a person already skilled in his trade in order to stay profitable. Thus mass education is required, and thus the public school system.

This is a very good point. The only two places where you see leaderless groups of peers are school and prison. No, teachers don't lead, nobody respects them at all.

This is why I LOVE the new Zelda games. It's completely non-linear. I'm only a few hours in, not doing any of the story, just exploring. I'm up in one of the sky islands and I see a dragon flying by. So I wonder if I can ride it. I glide over to the dragon and sure enough. Then I see something glowing at its head. It's the Master Sword! Something I'm supposed to get later as part of the story and I just stumbled on it accidentally.

How it started, how it's going
