Send him to me. He won't even have to leave the house to go to school. We'll spend mornings learning to read (english first, latin and hebrew can come later) and do math.

And then he can work his arse off for the rest of the day. All while getting lessons 'It is always time for school for midshipmen'.

He'd eat well, go to bed and sleep like a baby, and get up in time to sip coffee, watch the sun rise, and say his morning prayers.

Of course, I'd probably be jailed in a few days for violating his civil rights.

But he'd come out of it a decent man.

I did.

A while back NPR did a story about the old conservations camps of the 30’s. The young men who attended these camps were thrilled at the opportunity. They worked hard cutting trails and cutting trees during the day but were able to eat as much as they wanted, most of them for the first time. They sent half their small paycheck home to their families.

If they tried offering this opportunity to young kids today they’d laugh.
