Agreed. The elephant in the room is that school is rather unnatural and modern kindergarten is overly structured and academic. [1,2]

Humans are just highly intelligent animals. Kids acting like animals when they are 5 years old is not unnatural.

I went to a Steiner school for kindergarden and the focus is completely on play and hands on outdoor activities. I have fond memories of messing around with hand drills in the playground!
