I don't know how many times I have written that children are smaller versions of their parents
Children and especially their behavior are exact copies of their parents. And they are imitating their parents in every speech that they are keeping and action what they are doing. So children are always telling if their parents have some kind of position in their society. And children are also uncovering what kind of attitudes their parents have. They are using the same terms and arguments with their parents, and that thing causes sometimes embarrassing situations.
This is one of the greatest ideas, that sociologists have ever created, and that thing is always uncovered, what kind of people the parents of children are. That idea came in my mind when I was in one restaurant, and saw one person from my past, or I thought that I saw that person. In real life, the person, who I saw was the child of the person, who I once knew, and I must say that the child of that person was the straight copy of that individual.
The hairstyle and clothes were similar, and then I stopped and thought that the reason, why we are afraid children was in that place. Children have always the same attitudes and ideology, what their parents have, and they are like some cassette recorders. They are using the arguments, what they have heard from their parents, and this is the reason, why children are good informants.
When the duty of studies came in the laws in Europe, the reason for that was not that kings and other rulers of the nations wanted to share information with the regular people or even with their henchmen. Of course, things like the skill of writing and drawing combined with basic mathematics made life easier for officials, because people could read the will of the government. And also the writer must not stand at the side of every salesman, because the trade would need that every person would have a scribe at the next of them.
That kind of thing is possible, but when we are thinking about the school system, it would be a good place to get information, what the people are thinking and talking at home. Also, the writing and reading skills were important in the case, that somebody would show the order, what was coming from the ruler. In that case, it would be really important that people can notice that the text and paper, what they saw, really came from the majesty.
If the notification cannot be done, every count in the state could claim to work in the name of the ruler, and of course, people must know who was the real ruler in the country. So the picture and text above or below it made sure, that everybody can check is the person, who is sitting on the horseback the king of the nation. This is one version of the thinking about the school system. It was created for protecting the state against enemies, who might play some kind of "supernatural creatures", and that's why the people should know the principles of nature and some other things, that they would not obey wrong masters.
