[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it a relatively recent development for the children of the wealthy to be housed in schools for much of the day? Children used to be educated at home without notably inferior mental health outcomes.[/quote] there’s really no such thing as the 19th Century governess anymore. Jane Eyre is long gone. The wealthy send their kids to private school. I think anyone with some extra income for education would be hard pressed to find a live-in tutor with a masters degree who teaches their kids all subjects plus piano and drawing.[/quote] I don’t think Jane Eyre was capable of teaching much either, but today’s UMC kids have access to distance learning, so they can still be educated at home - perhaps not to the same standard as during a regular school year, but the same could be said of any approach that is likely to be viable this year.
