Honestly this article makes me happy to be young. So many useless practices and attitudes, once brought down on us and simply accepted, now in the trash heap of history. Hopefully next up is 'the pledge.' I'd love some "Socratic reasoning" on why that should be respected.

I am older, and school years are 20+ years past me.

What are the better practices and attitudes which replaced the "useless" ones mentioned in OP's article ?

School children in the US are often required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance[0] as part of the routine to start the school day.

Rise, put your right hand over your heart, and repeat after the person on the public announcement system. Historically, the Bellamy salute was used.
