106h. School

This is the second from last part of the multi-part episode on The Anthropology of Childhood by David Lancy. This part concerns school. It answers questions such as: What are parents' attitudes to school when exposed to it for the first time? How do children from traditional pre-state societies fare when schools are introduced to their communities? What has the experience of schooling been like in most times and places in the world? How do parents from different societies prepare (or not) children for school? Enjoy the episode.
