>‘The idea of middle school was supposed to be that teachers there were uniquely qualified to address the social and emotional needs of adolescents, in addition to teaching them subject matter.

LOL! Oh my, this could take awhile. LOL! Bawahahaha. uniquely qualified

We don't need teachers to address the the social and emotional needs of adolescents,

We need this: teaching them subject matter.
But that doesn't interface with the agenda, now does it?

Our education system will never do that.

Our fundamental mistake is to take the easy way. In a proper education system, small children of six, seven, and eight years old would spend little time at formal education, and a lot of time playing and learning informally. The time for hard study and learning would be between ten and fourteen.

But because small children are mallable and obedient, we put them to hard study at a young age. Then, when they reach puberty and feel like rebelling, we let them run wild.
