Try this in a secondary school and the parents will likely be cyberbullied but in real life and the students will degrade the parents as well as his/her child

[@ZZMAU-m5t]

Can we finally let kids be kids? cause if you don't let them have these milestones, they're going to grow up as well educated but lacking basic lifeskills and social skills. You might think that you're going to give them a leg up in life, but in reality they're going to become naive due to lack of social growth.

[@adoreyou7449]

I was in primary school not even 5 years ago and they are doing so much work it’s crazy. I wish I had a bit more work because going into high school hit very hard as I wasn’t used to tests, assignments or anything of that manner,
