“Suburbanization makes it costly to raise children humanely; parents are forced to choose between sending their kids off to a designated abuse facility, or designating at least one parent to be a full-time caretaker. This work cannot be shared among communities to realize economies of scale, because most adults are busy far away at work, and in any event you can’t let your kids run around freely because nearly every house abuts an active road with deadly automobile traffic.”
I believe another way that raising children outside the school system is that, while it’s possible to home school your own children, setting up a shared school with a few other families would require meeting a lot of requirements.
