Children are given drugs, like the Covid vaccine, punished for protecting themselves from bullies, yet the bullies are purposely left to bully, and a barking madness replaces the simple instruction in the heart of what used to be a straightforward transaction. Authority outside stated, contractual bounds confuses the fight or flight mechanism by those little children who know more about truth than their guardians employ. Teach the math, tell them why the math is important, but stop trying to get them to decide why they should accept the enraged face of pomposity just because some true authority relationship exists between teacher and student.
