I am a genetic genealogist and told the story of my own family historyf, when up until the 19th Century, it was the responsibility of the father to tutor his children, boys mostly, girls they deemed didn't need education all they needed was to be taught how to have babies, take care of them, and take care of the house for the hubbie.
My 5th great grandfather died before he could tutor all but his eldest son, and thus his sons, including my 4th great granfather was illiterate, and because he couldn't read or write, he couldn't engage in commerce or contracts, He had to rely on the faith in others and signed everything with an X. His son was illiterate, his grandson, his great grandson, the first in my family to have education was my grandfather, but only to the 8th grade, my father graduated HS and had some college, I have a Masters degree, my son and his daughter are PhD's (she is a research scientist)
In those days, when the father died, the children were considered orphans, and there were orphans courts to deal with them. A mother had to prove that he had the ability to tutor her own children, if she was to keep custody of them, otherwise they were "rented" out to guardians, who used them as free labor.
Glad to know facetiousness was afoot....it is hard to suss out full sense of these posts....we don't know each other ...we only see the post in front of us standing naked and alone, free of its author's full context.

Would have been better if you had let us know this at the beginning.
