political confession
Modern public schooling seems so bad, so opposite to how humans learn, so innately and unavoidably abusive that all budget questions about school funding seem appallingly wrongheaded; underfunded or not, schools are an abuse factory where children are imprisoned with no somewhat-older role models, trained to submit to authoritarian lecturers who don't have the resources or the agenda to let humans learn through curiosity and experience. they crush curiosity and teach abuse.
