Gonna be honest, I know Foucault's a bit of a meme, but reading his thoughts on how similar schools are to prisons reminded me of a lot of the prison-esque moments I had in school and never fully understood, including:
> cliques are going to form, for protection
> teachers aren't going to stop bullies because they just don't care, or the bully has extra pull outside of school
> if you play by the rules and suck up to the warden you get out on good behavior you get to commute your sentence to a nicer prison (university), or you constantly fight the power and the power shoves you into shit labor or an actual prison
Definitely going to redpill my children a little bit about what to expect in school and how to deal with it.
