Don't get me wrong, learning is important, but I don't have tons of fond memories of great learning opportunities in school.
We were not allowed to go to the library during lunch, before or after school, or at any time unless you were going as a class or you had a pass from a teacher. I wish I was making this up.
My school was like a prison tbh. Seemed like psychopaths were in charge and only taught/policed kids as a way to exert power and authority they couldn’t exercise elsewhere in life.

Libraries are the most important part of any school. They're what gives you freedom to explore.

I would spend a lot of lunch breaks in libraries. I learnt to love learning more from those books than any teacher.
