Morning Zazzy - nice post as usual - substantive as always.
Playing catch up now. 1) Le Bic, on the shore, adjacent Rimouski 2) Check out the Amish that went to Western NC and built tiny houses for the Hurricane Helene flood victims - 12 houses built in 48 hours, at a cost of $300K - all of which they did for free - most Master Carpenters.

On State-prescribed curricula, you are correct. Read a study years ago, that in Sweden (I think) formal school doesn't start until 7-years old. Data shows they academically outperformed every other industrialized country in later years.
There's a reason Obama and his ilk kept pushing for earlier and earlier pre-school "education" - Head Start - easier to bend those young minds. Preceded by the Bushs - Dubya and Jeb - with their "No Child Left Behind" indoctrination program foolishness.
In my comment, I just edited out 'under a certain age' in part because State-mandated anything at any age is fundamentally unethical because it's coercive.
I initially put 'under a certain age' because after a certain age, State-mandated curricula are not mandatory. So we won't have a social worker appear at our doors to question us about why our children, between certain ages, are not at school or submitting their tests.
I understand that some parents will be more fish-like than other parents and so be fine with laying their offspring like eggs to whatever/whoever happens.
Human beings and fish can of course peacefully coexist, as long as the fish don't impose their ways on we mammals.

And by all means, don't let school get in the way of your education.
