okay I know that this was supposed to just be a funny haha whatever thing. but dear god this annoys me so much.
children aren’t seen as human.
when you go to school, you get put in a tight room with 15-35 other emotionally volatile children who you might have known for years. you have to ask to go to the bathroom and sometimes you get told no. you’re taught that the one size fits all system that will always, inexplicably, not work for your brain, is the only way education is. you literally eat prison food (I’m serious, the same people who make prison food make school food in the US.)
and, of course, if your american, (which it seems like op is) you run the risk of getting killed.
adults always act like children are completely unaffected by capitalism but the truth is we aren’t. the education system has been hijacked to glorified prison to make good workers and not actually reach anything to empower children. ‘oh children don’t have to work’ fuck all the way off.
