School is Torture, Supervision Edition

You get it already, but it's worth repeating so I'ma beat that dead horse.


Children need time both unsupervised and supervised. 

1/30th of a supervisor is not enough. You cannot socialize anyone with 1/30th of your attention, and if the "teacher" has any further tasks it's even further diluted. Instead they can only apply extremely crude, and thus extremely strict and de-personalized rules. Concentration camp guard rules. Antisocialization.

Schooling has military-style spirit-breaking built into the very foundations. It has absolutely nothing to do with curiosity or true scholarship.

New failcomment system also fails to publish my comments, it's not limited to yours. Keep trying, it will usually work, eventually.
Blogger deliberately trying to kill itself, I expect.
Captchas should be off. If it gives you one anyway, it's against my explicit instructions.
