If you don’t want downvotes, you may find yourself happier on an instance that does not enable downvotes.

I’m more concerned about the architecture being prison-like than the fence. We don’t need barbed wire, but having a clear boundary for little ones to stay inside the grounds during recess is a good thing.

I really wish they’d bring back natural lighting and windows that open. During the school shooting in south texas, a lot of people escaped through the windows because the building was old (late 60s early 70s). During Covid, the Europeans opened the school windows to let in fresh air on a regular basis. You couldn’t do either in a lot of the newer school buildings.

Dude, up/down votes are how this thing works. Don’t take the system personally.

I mean it’s just an expression of disagreement. Most people aren’t fans of having their children kidnapped or them walking off and getting lost.
