Bare dirt is also unnatural.
Laconia primary schools used to be highly dedicated to the basics.
It was understood that most would grow up to work locally in careers that did not require a college education, but required a lot of basic knowledge on agriculture and the trades.
So up until the fifth grade, we did a lot of agriculture which was something most of us were used to... then in middle school to finish off our primary training, they added wood and metal shop, home ec/cooking, and sewing for the full three years.
