i never considered that seething hate was what motivated my plethora of bad teachers 20 years ago. it has to be a billion times worse for government school kids today
Remember when teachers made kids put their heads down?
Do they still do that?
The whole class sometimes had to suffer because of a few kids. And those few kids might catch shit from the rest of the kids. It was a sort of communal punishment?

My parents basically unschooled me and I'm still more social and better at tests than most other people. School is literally worse than teaching kids nothing at all.
Another point: if I get a few questions right, I'm more willing to take a chance when I'm not sure, simply because I know I've got the gist of the exercise, whereas I would hesitate if I'd gotten the first two "wrong".

Sometimes i think January 6th was an exercise in this.
Stage a fake protest, then impose harsh penalties to prevent a real protest from ever taking place. Learned Helplessness. Now no one wants to exercise right to protest anymore.
The other side of the room (niggers, Panti-Fascists) were allowed to riot all summer long without consequence. But if a patriot breaks a window it's 20 years in prison.
