I hear this argument a lot, but lets's ask the question: are high schools the best way to learn to "deal with people?" How much trauma have high schools inspired and can we do better now that we have other options?
No one is shitty like children are. It’s part of growing up and a great source of bad interactions that teach us about the world and ourselves. If the only thing you do in life is protect yourself into a perfect atmosphere, the less you are prepared for the real world which is unpredictable and full of trauma.
Is this opinion just Stockholm syndrome since we were all forced to go through it? What other models do we have to compare it to?
I would argue that segregating children by age for schooling purposes is a relatively modern idea that probably runs counter to tens if not hundreds of thousands of years of evolution.
