Yet it's not worth the cost of a slowed curriculum.
I'd argue social skills are more valuable than improved curriculum. Not saying you couldn't learn social skills outside of the school system too, but seems to me that curriculum is easier to learn outside of the system than social skills.
The main social skill I seem to have taken away from K–12 is "man, I fuckin' hate normies"
