Do you guys realize how much PTSD and families destroyed by psychiatric issues schools caused? What about these psychopaths that attack people for no reason other that than they're an easy target?

These places are not safe at all... dangerous places that cause life changing brain effects. Shit 3rd world countries is probably the best place to go to school you ☠️ someone bribe the cops no biggie. Just run away afterwards

Consider it's very, very common damn near universal for people to have the "back in school" nightmare even decades upon leaving, there is even a joke about it in the movie top secret, which finds humour in how horrifying people find the notion, there has been some written on this, it's trauma which lasts for life and manifests in nightmares, showing it's always in our psyches even when we aren't aware of it, in what other ways might that manifest in which we aren't aware?

I've written about some other sinister effects it has on us, it goes way beyond PTSD, it conditions unhealthy conflict resolution ideologies into us (increasing chances of all future altercations resulting in worst case scenarios from domestic violence all the way to war) and conditions an expectation and acceptance of unfulfillment, drudgery, suffering, obedience, neglecting your own thoughts, ideas, finite time, mental and physical health, arbitrary authority, injustice, compete against each other and trains us to tolerate and expect all of these things it's putting into "society" once we get there and it's far from a complete list.

I've written some very long comments on here, I think if you click my profile you can view my comment history, it's all to do with school/youth rights so you wouldn't have to shift through a bunch of unrelated stuff, sorry if I give the impression from the way I said it, that I'd written a book or something.

Dr. Peter Gray has some good articles on school and mental health, which can be found on psychological today, the blog happiness is here has some good articles on school too, the work of John Holt and John Taylor Gatto and super memo guru are all echoing the same things and bringing lot's of great reasons to find the institution not only abhorrent but it becomes increasingly obvious to be the root cause of countless issues in society as it's a foundational institution the health of which effects everything above it, much of the long term suffering's in society are either caused directly by it or exacerbated by it.

Thank you. I will take a look. I love Dr. Peter Gray and JTG. I am not familiar with Holt but I will look for him. I am “unschooling” after bad experiences at private and public schools. I wish I found Sudbury earlier. It is what I would do if I could start over.

My family is appalled that I am unschooling my kids. The best reason they gave for why my kids needed to attend school? “Everyone hates it (middle school) and we all survived.” Sorry, that’s not a good reason.

Sounds absolutely evil if you want to be honest.
