        It forces you to pick up bad habits. It also makes you dependent on organizations (employers) as opposed to be truly free.

        Upon graduation, I realized https://twitter.com/literalbanana/status/1120921085090746368 … I think the only way I would've been not screwed up is if I grew up with Mahāyāna Buddhist practitioners

        Unpopular opinion: I think (public) school does a huge amount of net good for kids in a social/psychological sense, and homeschooled kids are mostly much worse off in adulthood.

        being slightly on the spectrum, school definitely traumatized me, especially since I had an overwhelming desire to be normal but the best thing about school was how multicultural/diverse my friend group was, normalizing that has been a legitimate asset in retrospect

        More like I messed up my thirteen schools and left a wake of destruction behind each. I was born mad, bad and dangerous to know.

        No effect. Teachers are hamstrung here. I learned more from a mandatory relegation to a Boy's Home as a kid; more later while on active duty (Army); more from psychedelics for that matter. Compete waste on me. Before I chose my college/course study I was 100% self-taught.
