There is a need for hundreds of such villages across the land. That children should be raised by communities is one of the oldest ideas in the history of mankind and one of the most successful. It is not alone the family which is disappearing in our modern culture, but the community as well. Children are suffering a double blow and the effects of that are showing up in the demographics of crime, violence and addiction. If we cannot turn back the history of the family we can at least create a new history for the community.
Children can go home again, back to places where things are small enough to makes sense.
We can create villages like this one here in the Adirondacks where life can be grasped with small hands. It wouldn't be the first good idea that began as a heresy.
