There is zero doubt in my mind that school made me an irreparably stupider person than I once had the potential to be just by depriving my brain of any kind of stimulation for most of my waking hours, most days, for more than a decade. How could it possibly be otherwise?
It would be interesting to survey schoolkids on how many of them have caused themselves physical pain (e.g. pinching, scratching, cutting) in the classroom to distract themselves from boredom. But no, I don't think even that would be a sufficient wakeup call.
My eating disorder was one of the most enjoyable aspects of my high school years. I hope some parents who need to sit with that go ahead and do so.
It's why I hate "mainstreaming" kids in school too.
I was talking to a fellow ex-teacher about why she quit years ago and her reason has always stayed with me: 'Boys trying to jump out the windows'.
I'd scrape myself with pen caps. It hurt but at least it made my mind feel awake.
Seen it first hand in my day for sure.
I developed more productive ways to keep alert: blurt out jokes, play pranks, and even exercise with hand grips and those chinese balls. Oh and also do the old hide a book, gameboy, or headphones inside the textbook.
