      No. Are you trying to understand me, or are you trying to misunderstand me?

        Well I guess I’m just confused by your comment then. You said schools make kids not like learning and hate schools. You also said your kids were now back in school. So your kids hate school right? If schools are the cause of it then clearly they must have school now. Cuz otherwise if they don’t maybe your thesis is completely wrong.

          My kids love learning, they don’t really love school. Does that clear it up? Or are you, once again, just trying to misunderstand?

            So you’re saying they don’t hate school and they don’t hate learning? So schools are not a malignant entity that transforms the minds of students into hating school and learning. That’s what I thought. Thanks for clearing that up.

              Okay, so you are definitely trying to misunderstand me. I’m not going to expect you to understand at this point, but if you think the sentiment that “school in general can make children hate the process of learning” means “every school always makes every child hate learning”, then maybe you weren’t very well taught how to reason and understand.

              My kids are good at learning and they love it, and they’re able to manage through the school’s bullshit well enough that it’s not breaking their love of learning, and I am active in helping them maintain that love. They are among the relatively lucky.

              I thought it was like a cliche that kids hate school, though. Have you… not encountered this concept?

                  “Not really” what? Are you trying to be understood or not? You obviously haven’t been taught how to write clearly either.

                  Oh wait… are you a teacher? That would make so much sense.
