As an anthropologist and cultural ecologist, I have decried the loss of the quality of life caused by hundreds of thousands of children being forced to spend hours per day, sometimes from before sunrise to after sunset, being hauled long distances in school buses to huge warehouses, oftentimes without windows or any visible signs of our natural world, that are fraudulently called...
