    that entire thread of replies is just children with authority issues saying "yeah, punishments are bad, that's why i'm an anarchist 😎". Real abolish bedtime energy.

    I assume the reason I've never heard irl anarchists saying nonsense like this is I don't interact with people younger than 23, ever.

      Okay but I read a thread on here and someone mentioned they were in puberty. I get there's late bloomers, but it's fairly reasonable to assume there's a strong possibility we find ourselves arguing/posting with people a fraction of our age in any given thread. Put the stupid fucking struggle sessions into context for me big time.

          Yes, I'm going to do my best to compartmentalize the stupid bullshit I see on here and try to chalk it up to youthful ignorance. Again, young people can be informed and I'm glad for it! I'm sure I've learned a lot from young comrades on here.

          But there are some lessons and communication skills that truly must come from lived experience and perspective.

          Good point. Could be second puberty - but I know there's teenagers on here from past posts as well, and even adult teenagers are a surprisingly small fraction of my age at this point.

          The slow inexorable march of time comes for us all.

          homework as it currently exists is kinda bad in a few ways, like how it conditioned us to accept bringing work home but that's just a larger part of western education being about indoctrinating wage slaves.

            AFAIK studies on homework show that it just increases anxiety and sorts kids by economic class while doing very little to actually increase retention of information. If we made a school system based on what we know about childhood education it would be one of the things that would 100% get dropped, along with shortening summer vacation, starting the school day later for older kids, and feeding every kid for free.

              whoa, no thanks. I'd take the other 3 things though.

              Fortunately I'm permanently done with school and will never have to worry about it anyways.

                That is literally everyone's reaction to shortening summer vacation, but the fact is that school systems with 1 month summer vacations perform far better than systems with 2 or 3 month ones.
