Permit me to ask a question...

Adult students who questioned the authority of the teachers would be forced to attend after-school detentions to correct and realign their behaviour. Students who were distracted and struggled to pay attention in class would be prescribed state-approved drugs to cancel out any unnecessary mind chatter and distractions, with little to no concern for any harmful side effects.

If adults are the students, then who are the teachers?

I love what you've done with this post and I can only hope that it'll reach someone who is in power to effect necessary changes to the system as a whole.
