“Children are required to be in school, where their freedom is greatly restricted, far more than most adults would tolerate in their workplaces. In recent decades we’ve been compelling them to spend ever more time in this kind of setting, and there’s strong evidence that this is causing psychological damage to many of them. And as scientists have investigated how children naturally learn, they’ve realized that kids do so most deeply and fully, and with greatest enthusiasm, in conditions that are almost opposite to those of school….
Most people assume that the basic design of today’s schools emerged from scientific evidence about how children learn. But nothing could be further from the truth.
Schools as we know them today are a product of history, not research.
….
Research has shown that people of all ages learn best when they are self-motivated, pursuing answers to questions that reflect their personal interests and achieving goals that they’ve set for themselves. Under such conditions, learning is usually joyful.
The evidence for all of this is obvious to anyone who’s watched a child grow from infancy to school age. Through their own efforts, children figure out how to walk, run, jump, and climb. They learn from scratch their native language, and with that, they learn to assert their will, argue, amuse, annoy, befriend, charm, and ask questions.
….

They do all of this before anyone, in any systematic way, tries to teach them anything.
This amazing drive and capacity to learn does not turn itself off when children reach five or six. But we turn it off with our coercive system of schooling.”

saying women shouldn’t be allowed to get abortions because they were the ones who had unprotected sex is like saying smokers shouldn’t receive treatment for lung cancer or drivers shouldn’t receive treatment in a car crash because they knew the risks when they got a driving license

I think it’s safe to say you’re probably smarter than a lot of the government.

Have you ever wanted to run away so bad?
Like, you don’t know how you’d do it, or where you would go, but you just need to get away

I NEVER FUCKING NOTICED THE CHAIR THING AND NOW IM FUCKING DEAD

Dude you’ve been missing out cause this moment is poetry in motion

mother fucker is the most graceful and smooth ass bitch you will ever see

They made Hans’ character pretty clear though especially at the start of the film, he is the complete opposite of Anna. Anna’s always bumping into things, being awkward, accidentally hitting other people. Hans fucking gracefully catches Anna while she is about to fall down while at the same time putting his wine glass on the waiter’s platter and he does that thing with the chair and is basically an all round smooth motherfucker. It was made quite clear that the characters weren’t meant for eachother
