I think in the context of history treating children as human beings is a very recent thing, like past 20 years kinda recent. In england child labour wasn’t abolished until 1933 you don’t have to go back that many grandparents before you had people who sent their children to work at the youngest possible age. Things like banning hitting children wasn’t implemented until 2020 ffs, schools were allowed to hit children when my parents were there. Also the idea that children are property to be utilised and if they don’t should be beaten or discarded. On the upside younger parents tend to see their children as individuals with autonomy and the culture around parenting is changing.
Ofc what I’m saying only applies to crackerland I’m not sure what its like in other places in the world.
My mum went to school with a teacher that would throw a board rubber at children for talking. The same teacher would lock us up in the storage cupboard, up until I left in ‘03. Fucked.
