Freedom for children works, and produces competent, emotionally healthy adults who know what they want in life and how to get it, who have natural respect for others, and who aren't easily taken in by tyrants.
Coercive schools produce adults who are accustomed to being coerced; being pushed around by the State and other "authorities" seems normal to them.
Some kids want to be in school. Most would rather be doing something else for 8 hours a day. Those who didnβt want to be there learn very quickly that they are slaves and thereβs nothing they can do about it.
In general school replaces creativity with compliance.
