THE British media is claiming that there is currently a “post-pandemic bubble” of bad behaviour among schoolchildren and that a quarter of them have been suspended in what has been described as “peak classroom disruption”. Needless to say, this is an enormous figure and something professional brainwashers attribute to “desocialisation caused by lockdown”.

Whether this situation will eventually be used to criminalise home-schooling families remains to be seen, but surely the fact that children are causing so much disruption after returning to school demonstrates that the problem is school itself? I would suggest that it was necessary for children to become “desocialised” in order for them to sense the artificiality of the education system, even if their disillusionment is currently being expressed in a negative fashion.
