I always wonder what people's childhoods were like that they trivialize criticisms of compulsory schooling.

Now that I'm home and can charge my phone, a longer response. Calling teachers cruel is not a principled critique of schooling, compulsory or otherwise. It's a lib-brained take to think that systemic and structural issues are a result of the individual virtue of people involved

Fuck off

Funny this is the exact way that sub treats student behaviour, but it's the critique of this that's lib apparently

That take on student behavior is both bad and cringe, and so is the critique

You can just admit you got prickly because you assumed a criticism of a bunch of r*dditors was a criticism of teachers writ large

I'm absolutely fine with admitting that, if that was your intention. I've seen quite a bit of unprincipled teacher bashing on Hexbear before and I'll call it out when I see it.

Yes, but then you responded to me after I responded to someone else in the thread, so I didn't think we were on the same page. I'm going to chalk it up to a misunderstanding and move on
