If you want a flavor of what living in small tribes is like, look at the NextDoor for small town USA. People leave these tiny communities for many reasons, but one downside is the toxicity of the town gossips always in your business.
IMO a major solution is learning pods, funded by school vouchers. The monopoly factory schools pushed by the government manufacture misery and a hatred of learning. Let 100,000 flowers bloom of experimental schools, and the same cohort of 8 to 20 children growing together. If there’s a bullying or other issue, switch pods. Go to the r/teachers subreddit if you want to see some real truth about what is wrong with kids these days.
