I always wonder what kind of experiences people like this had in their life to reach such a state of delusion. They also claimed schools were "literally mini-prisons that feed into into actual prison" and suggested that asking students to pay attention in class was "authoritarianism".

    Ironically, I had friends in school who had come from juvy. I guess you could say prision fed into school instead? I'd love to ask them their opinions on that statement though and see how similar to prison school really was.

    As far as I can tell, that person is just rage baiting. If they genuinely believe school is the same as prison, having visited one myself (not for myself), all I can say is they should actually visit one and see for themselves what a prison is actually like.

    Even if they had a terrible experience in school and it genuinely felt like prison, most of us got through school absolutely fine with no long-term issues. You have to be seriously removed from reality to think all children hate school and turn into young adults with severe trauma because of it.
