My 2 sats bit of push back: Metaphorical prisons like school are in the eyes of the āprisonersā, not the āwardenā.
If the parent is a shitty teacher, the kid is trapped in solitary confinement for a crime they didnāt commit.
If the school is good the kids can nurture strong peer groups that offer a lifetime of social support long after they leave the parentās nest.
Itās often portrayed as an easy moral choice, but thereās a shitload of nuance involved. Teaching all subjects for 12 years is no walk in the park. Being a volunteer teacherās aid at the kidsā school for12 years can be a better path. You are involved, present and you are personifying the change you want to see in the education system.
