> People have been capable of educating each other and watching children without full-time school for thousands of years, it's only recently that westerners completely forgot how to do it.
You sound ignorant of how western society works. Cost of living has increased significantly in the west and globally so that both parents must work to provide for children, especially in urban areas. Work opportunities are often only to be found in urban areas away from grandparents and other potential caretakers. You should reexamine your priors, assumptions, and unnecessary biases. Or, have you completely forgotten how to learn?
