  • Monika van Paemel
gollark: Right, so don't shove people in very busy rooms for 5 hours a day.
gollark: If school was optimized for that, you wouldn't spend 5 hours a day not allowed to talk.
gollark: Well, you're:- legally required to be there- may actually be getting food from the same companies as prisons- are forced to move around between lessons arbitrarily when a bell occurs- aren't allowed to interact with friends and whatever much of the day- are forced to obey the staff and do whatever random work is set
gollark: That would be neat, or at least run in-person schools less like prisons.
gollark: > It's hard to compare certainty of one thing with a small risk of anotherThis can be done using "multiplication".
