Who would provide security. <br /><br />I have a piece of silver, let's say and want to trade it for a pig. How would that work on the ground?

It's the first plan you can set up for your 10-year old child in the envent you'll die soon after the lesson.<br />Yes it takes years to master agriculture, but a peasant is by no means a master, actually many were quite stupid and quite sloppy too. <br /><br />Once your child grows older you might want to specialize him on a higher value level. But we have to remember that anything relying on written knowledge or information is very time-intensive and will not yield fruits for the first ten years. Reading & writing was at minimum a craftsman knowledge (often his wife was trained instead of him, and had to do the accountancy chores).<br /><br />We all take school for granted but it is mind-boggingly expensive (State expenses : 8500 EUR per pupil per year in Middle High School in France). In my experience home-schooled children are a mixed bag, with a few chances of having healthy, comprehensive knowledge and much more chances of unbalanced, ideologically-tainted, sometimes faulty knowledge and practices.<br /><br />Teacher is actually the dream profession in developping countries because it is equivalent to wealth and tremendous value-generation. It is also a very specialized, niche job, that next to no survivalist thinks about.Avehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508223217305671728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-80184672569837769442017-09-13T11:50:49.061-07:002017-09-13T11:50:49.061-07:00What we need is to return back to a simple peasant...What we need is to return back to a simple peasant existence when tools and skills were all basic, easily transferred and trained?James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-6144371727775758672017-09-13T11:47:36.298-07:002017-09-13T11:47:36.298-07:00I love today's armored car guys. 50% above mi...I love today's armored car guys. 50% above minimum wage, and half the time all alone.
