This video reminded me of a situation that happened quite recently. In kindergarten, one of the teachers, who temporarily led the group our son goes to, tried to tell me how I should dress and cut my child's hair, because that's how it's supposed to be.
I usually respond politely but firmly to such requests that I will decide how to dress and when to cut my child's hair. No matter how sad it may be, but in schools and kindergartens, teachers who have inherited from the Scoop still consider it their duty to first squeeze the child into a very narrow framework, and then teach.
And even then it is difficult to call it a learning process. It's more of a training exercise. Because trained children are easier to manage, they do not cause unnecessary trouble. They are taught to listen to their superiors and make comfortable decisions, not to poke their nose where it is not necessary and act clearly according to the instructions.
Even the creative process has a set framework, because crafts need to be done in such and such a form. And then people grow up who believe that nothing depends on them. Like, what can we do? Where are we, and where are THEY (those who make the main decisions).
I think it's time to jump over your head. Not only for the sake of their children and the future, but above all for their own sake (no matter how selfish it may sound).
