The purported main purpose of school, and even of childhood, is educating children.

Many people are actively opposed to this idea.

Either they have other priorities that matter more, or sometimes they outright think that your child learning things is bad and you should feel bad for wanting that.

Some even say it openly. They actively and openly want to stop your child from learning things, and want to put your child into settings where they will not learn things. And they say that this is good.

Or they simply assert that the primary point of education is as a positional good, where what matters is your relative standing. And then they pretend this doesn’t imply they both should and are going around preventing children from learning.
