"In theory and in practice."
Instead of stratified classification according to age in grades 1,2,3,4,5,6 that separates all children from their peers, find a classification that keeps children with their friends and family.
Have classification by family group and geography. All children of the families living on one block or one half a block will all be educated in the same room so older children can help younger children and younger children can listen to older children's lessons. Then ALL children will work WITH the same fellow children that they LIVE WITH and LIVE NEAR, instead of being instructed in a room full of strangers that just happen to be their same age.
The current American Public School system is designed to destroy the natural friendship bonds that form between children and are intended to last the entire life. By isolating children in their youth, we insure that they are isolated as adults and more easily manipulated and "disposed of."
The social organization of the One Room Schoolhouse helps preserve family relations and childhood friendships.
I know. As an adult, I have no friends and no family and I think that my going to public school as a youth is largely the reason and the cause.
