I know it's idealistic of me, but I still believe that it would be somehow possible to make public schools something that kids want to go to, or at the least don't experience as a low-key and long-term traumatic experience. Tearing kids out of bed as early as schools typically start is where that hurt begins, and it sucks.
It is possible!
I went to a preschool called a Montessori school. Montessori systems encourage learning through play and are based on the idea that children's natural curiosity can be used to help them learn. It was a good fit!
Unfortunately then I switched to kindergarten elsewhere and while I was really excited to go learn at school , instead I got in trouble for being unable to sit still or listen to boring didactic instruction and school became a much worse experience.
holy fuck glad im not alone i got in so much fucking trouble when i first went to public school for the same reason. one time my teacher took my chair away for the whole day because I kept standing up to do work occasionally. goddamn i hated her even as a tiny kid
