    As someone with a based educator as a partner, this kind of rhetoric and thinking pisses me off so much. Schools are so fucking harmful to children (which is a huge understatement but idk how to express it more strongly) and these kinds of people gleefully take up their position as functionally prison wardens and then have the shamelessness to blame everything on the children. Fuck these people. You literally just have to treat them like fucking human beings. School is designed to break their humanity. It says everything about YOU if you blame children and perpetuate this system.

      As someone who wants to be an educator. A good teacher can literally save kids’ lives and being a leftist teacher is praxis.

      Huge agree that schooling models we have today in the West are very anti-child. Like kids should be able to do dumb shit and the school shouldn’t have to suffer for it.
