The amount of stress children are under at school is intolerable. If this is the price of an ‘education’ then it is far too high. We are trading childhood for test scores.
When does it stop? When adults use their voices to say no.

Every day, in many ways, children receive the message that they are less important, less deserving of respect, unequal, and inferior to adults, whether we mean to send that message or not.
The Winners Take All. What would it be like if we were honest with parents about school? We'd say, your children have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to enrol in a 12-year competition. At the end, about a third of them will be deemed failures. (with @_MissingTheMark )1/
Here's a thing I notice:
Really brilliant people are never the ones who insist children should respect them for their superior 'expertise.'
Really brilliant people all have a memory of being oppressed by an adult who was kind of a moron. So they tend to respect children.
