Yep, knew people growing up who were horribly abused and met more later when I lived in Utah. Disgusting stuff.

Having worked in the industry I can safely say they are legal child traffickers.

Lol. This is basically a US invention they simply copied 1:1.

If it wasnt being done by private industries, sure! But this is being done by private companies, sent there by parents who paid for it. In fact, as per the article, they have already taken measures against these private schools:

The BBC understands that Mr Li was arrested earlier this year, but we have discovered his associates have recently opened a new school.

This is still an issue, however, just not one mentioned in the article. This is commodified parental abuse.

Why is it always the poor workers that have behavioral issues?

Can’t they just sit down, shut up, and serve people richer than them?

CW: you will probably cry and be furious and haunted for this boy’s sake

Don’t worry. It turns entirely fictional after the introductory details. After the atrocities of the Elon School hit the news, some guy with a panache for creative fiction got a hold of it and now here we are.

Really curious why you would tell this blatant lie?

LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world on 13 Dec 23:36 collapse

What makes you think I’m lying?? I read the first 8 chapters of his Elon School saga as he was still cranking them out. It reads like fiction because NOBODY’S life is full of that much endless drama & action. It’s fiction.

Was about to write about Joe.

Pff,these Chinese have to copy everything American,don’t they?
