Exactly. My son’s school even had “silent lunch” some days. They treated his ADHD by denying recess most of the time. In high school, he was barred from standing next to his best friend in the stands during football games (they both played trumpet in marching band) because they were talking. There is very little opportunity for children to socialize in school, and most of it is reminiscent of Lord of the Flies.
Does anyone else remember school as 13 years of being told not to socialize?

From kindergarten onwards “No talking. Everyone quiet.”

Were you the weird quiet kid at school?

No, I was the kid that hung out with that kid.
This had nothing to do with teachers saying things like “Single file line, no talking class!”
