If the kids won’t learn anyways, we might as well give them their dopamine and depression machines so they can really double down on not learning?
Calling schools prisons?
Sorry, this is ridiculous. Learning isn’t always fun and it’s unfortunate that, as a child, you were asked to do things that weren’t 100% the most fun thing you could be doing at any given time, but it turns out playing video games all day has no value. It turns out, simply being a student with some anecdata gives one no insight into actual teaching.

This just reads as angsty teenage frustration.
