Ich habe eine schöne Zusammenfassung von M. Smalls Buch „Our Babies, Ourselves“ hier und einigen ihrer Ansichten zu Schulbesuch und Kinderkultur gefunden.

In fact, in parenting as in all human behaviors, the dictates of biology are often ignored, denied, or overridden for all sorts of social or cultural reasons. The way we bring up children, in fact, often reflects nmore about our soical history and our folkways and our traditions than what babies and children might need and expect.
