India used to have the Gurukula educational system, where anyone who wanted to learn went to a teacher's (Guru) residence and asked to be taught. He would stay at the guru's home and assist with all household chores if the guru accepted him as a disciple. This not only strengthened the bond between the teacher and the student, but it also taught them how to manage a home. The guru covered all of the child's interests, from mathematics to metaphysics, from Sanskrit to sacred texts. The pupil stayed as long as she liked or until the guru felt he had covered all there was to cover. All education was strongly related to life and the natural world,
