the reason our education system is so awful is our expectations of children are so low. Americans have bought into this narrative that children are ultra fragile and well that's what we have made them. it's not the teacher's job to raise children, it's the parents. the teachers job is to teach them.

other countries don't treat their children this way, and shocker, their children are far more resilient and self-reliant. we teach our children to be helpless, and we end up with helpless adults who never mature. maturity is learning from your mistakes, not feeling forever defined by them.

the original comment was a dumbass being a dumbass and being butt-hurt over his own stupidity. it's all bullshit anyway, nobody who actually reads don Quixote reads it in two days. it's a 1000 page dense novel. maybe you OP read Harry Potter 5, which is also 1000 pages, but it is so shallow you can read the whole thing in like 3-5 hours.

you call it 'anger and hatred'

i call it 'logic' and 'reality'. And all well-documented and observable things in the world.

But it's ok, that's why I liked the teachers people HATED. Because those teachers... focused on reality, hard work, and actually learing stuff. Not making people feel good about themselves.

And it's true, I notice people who are entirely focused only on feeling good, seem to think I am a very hostile and angry person. And peopel who are more concerned about things other than just their own personal pleasure, don't interpret me that way.

Almost as if folks are terrified of reality because it might make them feel bad about themselves...
