I have thrown around the idea of mandatory boarding schools for everyone as means to enforce better socialization of children by allowing for more peer regulating. Would love your thoughts

The more I think about it the more I realize a system like this would have a massive incentive structure to just normalize abuse just due to the seclusion just like we see with prisons today
As a Native, if you do this you are going to have to deal with us doing a guerilla insurgency on your white asses again.
We are not having our kids taken from us and raised by someone else again.
I tend to agree but I do think one of the flaws we have today in schools is that misbehavior and anti social behavior can’t really effectively be addressed. Kids are best suited to deal with their dipshit peers and I’m not sure of other ways to get that to happen than them living with eachother
It’s definitely an idea with significant harms but I keep one struggling with how to properly reinforce any sort of virtue when overwhelming Al lot of parents don’t possess it and will be teaching children a lack of virtue at home
I was merely segregated for my behavior and that was bad enough to make me more anti social than I would have been. And without skills to make it in life. They never make it up to you later either.

The history of residential schools and even contemporary Wilderness programs largely bear this out.

It makes me cringe. I was overly honest and hit for it by my mom and sometimes teachers punished me for it
