The idea

Schools aim at understanding the world and culture, economic independence and citizenship, and also build social competence, provide childcare and detect problems early.

In practice

A teacher, a mandated reporter, noticing a developmental delay or a sign of maltreatment.

Where people slip

Compulsory schooling is under two hundred years old in most countries, and about sixteen percent of children worldwide are out of school.
