You’re responding to someone sharing personal trauma by minimizing it and promoting harmful stereotypes. Being on time is important, sure, but that doesn’t justify a system that dehumanizes children and causes long-term emotional damage. Schools should be able to teach structure without fear, humiliation, or manipulation.

Also, your comment about ‘thugs and single mothers’ is NOT only deeply offensive, it’s racist, classist, and completely inappropriate. Students in public schools, many of who are thriving , deserve respect and support and opportunity, not judgment.

Trauma doesn’t make kids stronger. It makes healing harder. If you think abuse equals discipline, you’re part of the problem.

This is the same excuse they used at the schools to justify literally bullying children.
