The school reform promised us "life skills," but we got nothing. In reality, the whole thing is a mess. There's this massive, suffocating pressure on kids to be at the top of the class with a perfect GPA. Meanwhile, trade schools and vocational paths get totally ignored. Kids—especially the ones prone to perfectionism—get hammered by teachers and parents telling them they have to be flawless at everything. It just kills their self-esteem. Why aren't we teaching actual life skills like home economics, digital literacy, or how to manage money? Most students today lack basic independence, largely because parents are too soft on them. You end up with this weird gap where a kid might be a genius academically but is an emotional wreck who can't function on their own.

It’s possible this is all stemming from being bullied at that first job. Workplace harassment is brutal, and depending on how bad things actually got, it can seriously mess with your health long-term. The problem is, proving harassment is such a nightmare in practice that even if victims go to the EEOC or file a formal complaint, they usually end up getting nowhere.

directed by Watchmen’s Nicole Kassell.

Great. Just what we need—another classic getting absolutely trashed by a remake. We'll see how that goes.
