Huh, so if they have a beneficial effect I wonder what happens if you disrupt their lifecycle. Are they, for instance, sensitive to certain cleansing compounds, etc.

I enjoyed school quite a lot, though admittedly the environments of my high school and college were quite special.

It was basically an undergraduate experience in terms of intellectual rigor, and the group of classmates I had around me genuinely cared for and looked after each other. A majority of our teachers were wonderful mentors who treated us with high expectations but respect and support.

Then college (at a tech school) was basically grad school level in terms of expecting students to participate in research and make original intellectual contributions.

I think my experience shouldn’t be so rare and special as many young people would enjoy and benefit from it as well. Undoubtedly there are other awesome options that don’t involve as much formal schooling. There should be options available as one size doesn’t fit all.
