Surely you would not want the children learning bad habits like...actually doing work??? Can you imagine little Tarquin strolling down The Grove telling his pal Algernon that he had actually done some WORK yesterday? How could you live with the shame? And knowing that even the Butler was aware of your disgrace?
One would surely have presumed that that they would have worked out from an early age that menial tasks such as counting could be devolved to their governess?
