I don't think that you're quite comprehending how bad the "nerdy privileged kid" experience is. I don't remember most of school. I remember all of the facts just fine, I remember some of folks' names and faces, but I mostly simply have a massive black hole in my memory where the first fifteen years of my life should be. I didn't get "a rich education", I was repeatedly recommended to do special coursework which was different from my peers' work. My household wasn't "educated and affluent enough", but the school insisted that I be treated differently or else I would have to go to special needs. I was involuntarily medicated because they thought that it would improve my performance. Bentham was right to imagine schools and prisons as having the same basic social structure. Maybe it was alright for you, but it was traumatizing for many of us.
