The Myth of Socialization
The other day, as I was getting a haircut, my stylist’s step daughter was sitting there waiting, saying she was hungry. The stylist kept telling her to walk over to subway. The child, about 9 or 10, was afraid of getting lost and wouldn’t go alone. My 13 y/o daughter was nearby reading a magazine. I asked the child if she’d like my daughter to walk her there. Her response? “I don’t care.” If you guessed that she attends publik skool, move to the head of the class.
The most used phrases by children indoctrinated in government day prison (schools) are these: “I dunno” and “I don’t care.” Children forced to endure day prison develop apathy as a defense mechanism. Don’t try to tell me my home schooled kids need to be “socialized” this way!
At first I thought, “if you don’t care, why should I?” Then I realized this child was unable to tell the truth, to be vulnerable, to expose a desire, not even for a basic thing like food.
She’s the product of an upper middle class family living in a nice neighborhood, with educated parents driving new cars and vacationing in Mexico several times a year. She had dead eyes, not like a child’s should be.
She’s accustomed to a world where it is unsafe to need human kindness or nurture. At skool, you’re not going to get it. You’re gonna get made fun of by other kids who’ve perfected the bullying technique or humiliated by someone with state authority. Tens of millions of children live this way. No wonder eating disorders, teen suicide, drug abuse, promiscuity, teen pregnancy, etc are epidemic in our culture. They “don’t care” but desperately want to be loved.
I painfully remembered what it was like to be a hungry child. I respectfully asked my daughter if she would mind taking the girl, no psychological force involved. I got a great haircut, but honestly, a small kindness to a wounded child was far more gratifying, even though it was a drop in a black hole-sized bucket.
When are people going to stop interring their children in government day prisons?
