  • give kids access to software designed to constantly undermine their attention through manipulative design. Don’t blame Google OK?
  • keep them at home or doing some adult supervised activity 24/7. Unsupervised play among their peers is dangerous, they could be kidnapped!
  • school is just a giant prep course for a series of standardized tests. If your kid sees no point in that, though luck!
  • kid can’t focus/sleep/is acting out? Give them drugs!
  • what do you mean this is not how humans have developed for most of their existence?
  • Oh, so you want out? OK, how much cash do you have??? :porky-happy:

keep in mind I’m a dipshit who has never had to raise a kid, but things look bleak indeed.

I’m not defending teaching to maximize standardized test scores but kids don’t see the point in a lot of things that are objectively good for them and they should be made to do.

When I was a kid I didn’t see the point in eating vegetables, and in retrospect I’m glad that my parents sat me down at the table and made me eat my greens.

Case by case basis, but on this issue it seems more justifiable.

The internet has destroyed my circadian rhythm, and yet all the sane, non lib people I know are all on the internet. Hoist by my own petard…
