[quote=Anonymous][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] I’ve thought about this before, in the context of 19th century British fiction.
