Kind of funny that kids (and adults) often have a mentality that school is/was a prison, something they were sent to against their will.

When people are in prison and school becomes something that can be taken away, it looks more like a privilege.

Human brains are weird.

I don't think it's that weird: it just means that the judgement is relative.

Honestly, I have seen that mentality on HN a lot, but not much outside on real life. I think HN has strong bias here - and partially ideological bias, surprisingly often they want everyone to home school.

What I most enjoyed about school was being with my friends.
