↚ Misanthrope ↛

by natural england 

The modern education system was designed during the Industrial Revolution to force children into a workplace environment (“Shut up, sit down, do your busywork, obey authority without question, no bathroom breaks, you are dismissed by the bell”) and has not been updated since. Rich kids in private school get to sit in circles and discuss literature theory like businessmen exchanging ideas. Middle-class kids sit in arrays of desks like assembly lines or cubicles. Poor kids attend schools with armed security guards and metal detectors, ready for a lifetime of prison labor. What we’re seeing now is that teachers try sending these attitudes home with their students and parents don’t remember the authoritarian aspects being so overt.
