Late 1800s to early 1900s
And when you say handing off you refer to school or daycare ?
varies for different countries. In Germany the government has always brought up the kids. Home schooling is near impossible to push through (only under very extreme conditions like specific illnesses, disability etc). I remember when I finished school thinking I'd take a year off, travel and then decide what I want to do next. Turns out I was under "Berufsschulpflicht" (Compulsory vocational school attendance) and not attending ended in my family receiving fines from the state. So I ended up having to attend a "Hauswirtschaft Klasse" (Home Economics Class) which was an absolute waste of my time. But there was a lot of girls so it had a few perks.
Ah here it’s less strict. You can homeschool without fear of fines and repercussions
But you have to follow rules and regulations, obviously
This is another problem. They functionally own our children if we don’t have the power to determine how and when to educate our children.
Where is that?
Right. Not a thing in Germany. People been taught well to just obey and shut up.
Oh, wait till I tell you about mandatory vaccinations before you can enlist your child to the mandatory school.
Socratic Oath thrown out the window in many countries.... Oh the irony.
They’re mandatory in the US too. Some people try to get around it with a religious exemption but idk if it works.
Where I live, it depends on the province. There are 3 where it’s mandatory. The rest is not mandatory but strongly recommended. Luckily it’s not mandatory (here)
My sister had to fight pretty hard to protect her daughter from the vast amount of vaccines they pump into the kids and the little one is attending a Montessori school instead of the public school. But the fight was worth it for the sake of the child.
TBF on Germany school USED TO end at 13:10, with the occasional sports class in the afternoon. But we went on Saturdays, too. That changed to 5 days, 8:00-17:00 with lots of holes in the schedule, mostly because of dual earners unwilling to find their own goddamn "Betreuung", like a grandma or good friend
