I have always thought that. Public (or even private) schools are a form of abuse. Kids and adolescents are kept against their will inside a building, where they are at the mercy of the administration and are presented versions of facts and theories, 99% of which won't be of any real use to them other them to look better than their peers in the off chance that they are good at logical thinking. There are so many ways of doing this education thing better that it makes me sad no form of alternative education is popular where I live.
