It's safe to say that most people here have terrible memories of school, and for good reason. School is literally torture for the sake of it. You are not taught anything useful, which will haunt you as an adult when you don't have any survival skills, but you definitely are: bullied, controlled, restricted, taunted, punished and mistreated. Almost nothing that you learn has any purpose, but you are punished severely if you don't learn it well enough, which causes many people trauma as an adult. The entire school system is designed like a prison: as little freedom as possible, pointless rituals, and pain/suffering being the objective. It is insane that anyone remembers school positively when it's literally ritualistic torture designed exclusively to make wage slaves. Most bad memories I have are school-related and it's painful to know that there are a lot of people having to suffer through it all the time.
