Being sick enough typically meant spending the day laying in bed, alternately shivering and burning, drifting in and out of sleep, occasionally puking, and that was still preferable to spending the day at school.

As a former educator I am among the first to point out systemic problems and failures of policy and so-called “reforms” from the years to even worse under , where “no child left behind” became “race to the top” and in both cases enriched private testing corporations and charter school conglomerates by expecting kids to fail their deluge of fucking tests and planning accordingly.
That said, “school sux and shouldn’t exist at all” is a clownishly bad take for any society that wants to exist longer than a few years. It’s “no veggies at dinner, no bedtimes” ideology at its most primordial.
“Thesis, antithesis, synthesis!”
