Schooling can be amazing, but often times here in the States it's just people power-tripping because they have such massive insecurities. The fact that using singular they/their gets someone marked off on a report, or a foreign exchange student spelling "Color" as "Colour" (ESPECIALLY when referring to a book that is definitively titled with the word spelled Colour) gets them point deductions, etc. is just insane to me. -

And respecting someone's pronouns, even if they're unusual, shouldn't ever be a deduction either.
School is just way too authoritarian. It's probably a reflection of how authoritarian society is towards minors in general. -
