starting to suspect that in a functional human community kids should mostly be being taken care of by older kids
Conversation
it would be a better use of their time than high school and it would prepare them to be better parents later
someone showed me a bit awhile ago about tribal societies where children are mostly taken care of by teenage girls specifically and honestly it makes a lot of sense

TBH, after reading some of smile.amazon.com/Anthropology-C , I get the impression that tribal societies treat kids in all kinds of ways and it's even odds whether any of their practices are sensible or horrid.

Speaking of which, this is one of the most moving accounts of how a tribal society raise their children that I've ever seen. npr.org/sections/goats
