Strikes me that a lot of elements of elementary school
the yearly rhythm \u2013 “it’s fall so we’re tracing our hand out as turkeys”, the random petty holidays \u2013 “everyone is wearing yellow tomorrow!” and community pageantry \u2013 “and now, everyone goes to the auditorium to watch the fifth grade perform The Wizard of Oz”, even the subjects \u2013 “HERE’S what sound a sheep makes, THIS kinda cloud means it’s gonna rain, LOOK at this egg growing into a chicken”
are really some kinda ontology-recapitulates-phylogeny reenactment of village agrarianism
