I can understand people who don't personally want to have children. I can't understand people who have contempt for children, and (typically) contempt for the human legacy they make salient. It's a scary thing when a person's self-loathing is too big to fit their own skin alone

Nobody really gets this — it's the third rail for *everyone* — but teachers *are* part-time substitute parents. During the school year, kids are spending about a third of their waking hours in the care of these people. They have no choice but to try to trust them & please them.

Very young kids, especially, will do like Harry Harlow's poor baby monkeys: they'll try to weather out the consequences for whatever it is they've done wrong, and then they'll try desperately to "fix it," if they can. You really have to break a kid to stop getting this behavior.pic.twitter.com/45Y3xIV7W1
