detrimental is a single dimension valuation, but there are definitely some severe downsides that you don't see while you're there.

The way those kids are treated was a completely shock to me, and I went through the system. They're treated like subhumans and it's done right out in the open because it's so normalized (I usually hate that word, but it applies here).

I did a brief stint as a dell person who was sent out to a few schools (for extra money towards the end of my college career) and what I saw there was very eye opening. It was very eye-opening.

The other part that was very eye-opening was having a kindergarten teacher interacting with me almost as if I was an overly tall kindergarten teacher. It made me realize these people interact with kids all day, every day, and it sort of becomes ingrained in them. They themselves probably don't even realize the extent to which interacting with kids every day affects how they socialize.
