We do exchanges with a school in the Netherlands and two in Germany, I'll ask about it next time.i think they do something similar to this is the Netherlands and i think in Germany as well, take the young kids out and drop them off in a forest somewhere
Inside the strange tradition of ‘dropping’ your kids off in the forest at night
‘If this sounds a little crazy to you, it is because you are not Dutch’
also we biked everywhere, even as kids....i would have had to bike at least 20km to equivalent high school , no school bus (although nowadays the kids doing that bike, ride are on electric bikes)
This was how I grew up. During the summer we spent 10 hours a day with our horses. Ride a few miles down to the creek, fish once in a while, search some old abandoned buildings for treasures (found some old playboy's). At least one of us needed minor wound care at the end of the day. I remember the exact spot where my horse kicked me in the head (accidental).How a radical experiment to bring a forest into a preschool transformed children’s health

Theres a fair few "forest schools" around here. My daughters primary school (which was a regular state school) used to have campfires and marshmallows, they climb trees and muck out the wildlife ponds.

I feel for the kids tbh.
The internet and the media sell horror because we evolved to pay attention to danger. If it bleeds it leads creating a population conditioned to see catastrophe in every passing stranger. The fear of parents their kids will be harmed has led them to smother them personally.
At the time it was on par with finding the Arc of the Covenant for a young fellow.
Yeah, as one of our kids teacher said: They day we gave them tablets in school, was the day that kids playing died.
On my street it looks they run from 7 to 15. I've never seen a phone in use and have no way of telling if any of them have one.
