This is a very good point. The only two places where you see leaderless groups of peers are school and prison. No, teachers don't lead, nobody respects them at all.

@cjd Age-segregated schooling is the pinnacle of gay, soul-killing, modernist managerial tripe. Hierarchies are how children are supposed to learn, either from adults or older children. Learning from the herd as opposed to from elders teaches inferiority and barbarism.

@Floydian_Psychology @cjd I mean this kind of thing works best within small, tight-knit communities, which would generally not be overly diverse.

@ArdainianRight @cjd this would work without niggers, unfortunately because of niggers if you removed these age-segregations then you would get a lot more nigger on white violence in schools

I've been thinking for a while now that apprenticeship seems like the best form of education in general. It guarantees the kid will have real, marketable skills. It encourages family lines by fathers taking their sons as apprentices. And if people actually make a point to find an apprentice inherit their position get old there will be a steady supply of replacements already trained to take over these skilled positions, excess boys can be apprenticed off to people who don't have any sons. If the need for a trade increases more apprentices can be found, both for their immediate labor free their skilled masters to focus on the difficult parts, and to eventually increase the number of tradesmen in general. Obviously many boys won't be apprenticed, there's always a need for unskilled labor and some will join the academia or clergy (speaking of which we should also bring back the clergy as a class of society) or whatever. Many of those will be children of the elites who don't wan their kids lowing their status to a tradesman, and generally the elites will do their own thing in any society. The lower classes however might well be able to get their son an apprenticeship and raise him out of the laborer class; if their lucky and seize the chance when it arises. A steady class of tradesmen allows for an actual middle class, above laborers but below the elites.
Though I don't think such a system could really work in our current economy, where you have to be hired by some company rather than being your local cobbler or whatever. Massed produced goods greatly diminished the value of trades; cobblers don't' really exist anymore, you buy your shoes from the automated shoe factory potentially on the other side of the world. Companies also require immediate return on each new employee. They can't really be bothered to train each one of them into a skilled worker, they need to find a person already skilled in his trade in order to stay profitable. Thus mass education is required, and thus the public school system.
