Tumblr post by vang0bus, reading "you can't ever let yourself forget what it felt like to be 15. How adults treated you. Being treated without a shred of respect because people think you're too young to have thoughts and feelings of your own. The lack of autonomy. You can't ever forget that because if you do you might become the kind of adult who treats kids like they're not people"

all this bullshit about taking their phones away...they have to wake up at 7am for school and be there all day, they can't even have one bit of joy? they can't do banter during class or record a lecture or look stuff up? why are we acting like school has to be strict because it has to seem strict

    The older I get the more I think school and college are the way they are for aesthetics more than effective education. And having gone back to college after earning a flight instructor certificate has convinced me at least some professors haven't so much as looked up the word "learn" in a dictionary.
