Lol, there were centuries without mandatory education before us, do you assume all kids ended up being stupid and incapable?

And socializing, give me a break. Looks like you were never a victim of bullying, discrimination or racket.

Ah, you're talking about the middle ages right? Yeah those were the times.

And by the way public education was institutionalized even in the Ancient Greece era.

So what about bullying and discrimination? This is your response? Close your eyes and hide? The only kids that I saw getting bullied were weak kids whose parents were overprotecting them. Instead of encouraging them to join a team sport(or a similar activity), they were trying to steer them away from being exposed to social activities. You see their kids were special, so they shouldn't mingle with the "plebe". It didn't work out well for them.

I'm not saying that bullying is not something you shouldn't be aware of, but this is not how you deal with it.
