It wasn't as if these children were highly tutored to behave well, or that they were doing it against their will. It appeared to come entirely naturally and cheerfully and consensually. <br /><br />I guess this is because they do have real choices and power over their lives. There is no conflict in the moral principles that they receive, eg: don't bully and yet it is right for a parent to bully you to go to school. The morality is evidenced to them in the way adults behave.<br /><br />Anyhow, their behaviour did seem almost unique to HE to me. It is not something I have seen with any regularity in sschooled children, though the ones that go entirely freely (ie: they could HE if they wanted to) do have this quality, I admit.Carlottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12686469871331093679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11652148.post-42951960580277934992009-07-21T08:25:19.653+01:002009-07-21T08:25:19.653+01:00I do know some schooled children who are just like...I do know some schooled children who are just like that, but their parents are unusually careful about imparting good moral ideas (and they attend church summer school which actually does encourage the idea of helping all despite differences). <br /><br />But generally I would agree schooled children are likely to unconsciously take on and accept the idea of age segregation as taught in school - although perhaps only when they are in groups with their peers? <br /><br />DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
