Generally, I enjoy what you're expressing. School often doesn't benefit
absolutely everyone.

I've seen a lot of distressing reports.

If they were actually allowed to simply leave school, this might be stopped.
But rather, they are required to continue on enduring.


Parents have to be supportive of their kids' emotional needs,
nevertheless sadly several really aren't.
