My extremely basic take is that no, it is not good to abuse children a lil bit.
"In life, we’re going to have to deal with all kinds of people, and children need to know that." No, actually. You don't have to keep dating Vaguely Abusive Boyfriend. You don't have to keep working for Pushy Boss. And you don't have to train your kids to be doormats.
In life, you get to choose who and what you'll put up with for your own reasons. I suspect that a lot of people feel trapped with jerks because when they were children, we trapped them with jerks and gave them the idea that this was somehow the right thing to do.
This parent watched a teacher repeatedly call her child a terrible person, in front of her, even *after* he'd burst into tears, and promptly removed him from the situation because Holy. Fucking. Shit. WSJ: "Well, that may be a bit extreme. What message are you sending?"pic.twitter.com/O6SVEEGWhO
Wow homeschooling looks so overdetermined at this point
I know, right? I feel like I'm seeing a new reason never to touch a school every week, sometimes twice a week.
