Sometimes I think your whole life is an extended subtweet against schooling. I quite enjoyed mine tbh. I can objectively appreciate the prison arguments, but it's a bit overdone. More like babysitting than prison.

Also, American public schools do seem to be peculiarly terrible. I recall being vaguely terrified of them watching American school shows on TV as a kid.

That's just overall Indian culture, not the schooling effect. Military affect is the uniforms. On the playground etc, Indian kids are (or used to be) vastly more free-form/wild than American.
This may sound weird, but the fundamental wild-kids sanity of pre-90s Indian school culture was due to the absence of dating and all its pressures. Kids had space to be kids. For eg there was no real jocks-vs-nerds toxic dynamic.

Kids might be better at leaving their awfulness outside school. In my country the bad kids don't get into fights in the school yard after classes. They go to a nearby park, and they change out of their uniforms first, so they won't make the school look bad. Very considerate.
