Anyone else find it strange that a country that has often fallen in line with "think of the children" arguments for hypothetical dangers appears to be completely uncaring about very real dangers of social isolation that are impacting our youth?

Is it social isolation?

Or children living a care free life shocked to learn there really are invisible monsters?

Being socially isolated wasn’t the only new reality they had to assimilate.

As someone who grew up rural, DIY, ending up further left than Sanders, the one size fits all assembly line model of education we push kids through doesn’t really seem like it’s thinking of the children.

It seems more like it’s “think of the past greatness these behaviors brought to the motherland!”

As usual the real outcome is forcing intense logistical effort on the masses to manage all this for diminishing returns in their paycheck and increase in stress.

It’s hard for me to see it as truth instead of hand me down narrative.

The Greeks taught math and physics before we had bachelors and PhDs. Our educational system looks back to medieval France, where pretentious ranking for political reasons took hold, when the top down hierarchy knew best!

If we want to think of the children stop forcing them to fellate grandpas old wives tales
