EVERY state and country where school is compulsory is faced with the problem commonly labeled school refusal. Everywhere, a significant number of kids strongly resist going to school and manage to skip school frequently. From a legal perspective, refusal to attend school is a crime, and, if prolonged, it may be treated as a crime, even today. Psychologists, however (no surprise), are inclined to think of school refusal not as a crime to be punished, but as a psychological disorder that needs to be corrected through some form of therapy. I suggest here that we should think of school refusal as a human right. CLICK HERE: petergray.substack.com/…
