       | Hardly. school is much more strict compared to many work
       | environments, from my own experience at least. Think of how many
       | ppl do their jobs half assed but are still employed, or come in
       | late, etc. School was so strict growing up. Mouthing off to a
       | teacher means calls to parents, detention, = 2x punishment
       | (parents + teacher) etc. Can't eat at school except for lunch
       | time , must pay attention, etc. School kids get treated like such
       | shit compared to workers.
