'Nurturing' the young

re: "Draconian School Rules" (BP, May 13, 2022) 

Dear editor,

In his comments on dictatorial Thai schools pushing some serious patriotism via the draconian methods approved by traditional Thainess, Pornchai Sereemongkolpol might bear in mind that nothing beats a solid marble pillar, perhaps with some pretty gilding, to serve as a millstone anchoring an otherwise active, enquiring, critical and creative young child's mind in the murky depths that are deemed its proper place by authoritarian disciplinarians claiming to be benevolent, righteous and even nurturing educators.
