This broke my heart a little bit. I was reminded of my childhood, growing up in Hong Kong in the 80’s, school was a constant failure for me. I’m aware of the harm that has done to me, and feel lucky I had left that toxic environment when I was 15, so I wasn’t completely destroyed. Thank you for doing what you’ve been doing! I believe we humans are on the verge of either raising our whole existence a level up and make the world really great, or completely breaking nature’s eco-systems and creating the next mass extinction event. Fixing education (and parenting) is of utmost importance!
