If you say you’d rather go back to being told when to wake up, go to bed, when to eat, what to eat, what you can and can’t say, what you can and can’t believe, what clothes you can and can’t wear, what haircut you have to have, what you can watch, when and where you could go, being required to be monitored, being under non-stop workload, and even what you’re supposed to be when you’re an adult

I went to a Catholic, private high school and it wasn't that strict. I went to a public university and it wasn't that strict, I have no idea of what you're talking about. I'm wondering if you went to a military school and/or your parents were terrible humans.

For those who cannot afford private school, we have to obey laws to the letter. And even then risk being punished.

U.S. Laws make it so that your child MUST be treated like property, and to be given as little freedom as possible. Otherwise CPS can and will be called. And everyday this continues to worsen in the U.S.

If you have money, most won't even bother. But public school teachers and officials can clearly see who has money and who doesn't. Whether or not your parents are good or terrible is irrelevant.

This issue is Systemic.

My parents couldn't afford it either, we were not rich. Private schools are stricter from my experience.
