Feudalism had much that many people miss today.  For example, people worked close to home, and there was no commuting or traveling to a job.  No one was "laid off" by a big company and left without work.  Communities were strong and people defended each other against foreign enemies.  Families stayed close together.  Perhaps the roots of homeschooling are in feudalism!
