1. The system affects TONS of people - but this paradoxically brings
a sense of normalization even when it is utilitarianly bad
2. There is a sense that you can learn from it - but not really. It has
to be unignorable by design, with the only hope being when you leave (==
it is very,y very bad!!) (otherwise at least some would have cracked the
code by now).
3. If it is so normal, people don't speak up about suffering, because
they perceive others to be able to tolerate it.
4. It is thus reframed as a necessary evil or an
over-exaggeration of suffering due to boredom or unwanted tasks.
5. People actually suffer when losing 10 hrs of their day due
to school, especially when the rest of the time values productivity when
you have free time!
6. Others, like parents who are retired, do not understand. The ones
suffering do not understand why they are suffering (from an external
locus of control).
7. The person is thus blamed, stigmatized, or ignored, in comparison to
the "OKAY" people.
8. When the problem was school all along. It was indeed going to be the
case that there would be severe negative effects. Simply put, the body
likes sleep deprivation, freedom restriction, ultra-high competitiveness
(due to it being a baseline requirement), high noise levels, and,
paradoxically, being reliant on it because it's the only way they can
prove to unis/employers that they are deserving of a placement or
money.
