Saw a discussion about modern schooling on twitter. Tons of "trad" kind of guys were arguing that modern schooling is designed to be boring to young boys and to humiliate them and that things were completely different in the past. That schoolboys in the past weren't bored with useless shit, weren't needlessly humiliated and weren't forced to sit still for hours doing nothing.
What's the cause of this kind of retardation?

Everyone's attention spans have been utterly fucked by smartphones and the internet, it's not that school has "gotten boring" it's that everything that isn't scrolling through 10 second shorts is boring. Doubly so for kids.

I’ve never understood this ”modern schooling is designed to be boring for boys, sitting still is against their nature” thing, considering that it pretty much was sitting still but just with much harsher discipline.

We need a Boy Scouts or something like it to be more popular, it’ll teach discipline and the sort of hands-on skills boys like

Yeah, just looking out the window would often result in getting caned
>But back in the day, boys only learned indispensable life skills that made the real men, not useless boring shit, retvrn!
Like memorizing thousands of pages of latin and greek poetry
Do these people even know what went on in schools in the past?

I wish I was beaten up and abused more as a kid, that would have made me into a real man.

And reminder that there was the practice of fagging in british boarding schools. Young boys definitely need to endure the humiliation of being forced to be servants for older boys and being relentlessly bullied by said older boys (and possibly even raped by them). That's what turns boys into men
