something that got clarified in a DM conversation just now: the vast majority of the harm i think school does to children is completely invisible. it's lost creativity and energy that should be there but isn't. you have to have a sense of what's possible to feel its absence
Conversation
the little of parenting culture that i've seen in the US is so much about protecting children from big legible dramatic dangers like being physically abused and so little about protecting them from being hollow shells, hungry ghosts, the living dead
