Interactions, yes, but I wouldn't call those interactions socialising.
In my entire time as a child and teenager at multiple schools, I don't recall spending any time socialising with teachers and other faculty. Not once, and not even with my favourite teachers who made the most lasting impressions through their teaching, and willingness to teach me more advanced things than on the standard curriculum.
It was pretty minimal at university too. Socialising was with other students.
- packetlost 5y agoSocial education is not just socializing. It's important for children to learn social dynamics with people who are a different standing as them and their immediate peers.
- jlokier 5y agoI agree those things are important. But the post by inglor_cz you replied to was specifically about socialising being limited to peer ages as a child, not social eduction in general. Therefore your reply "this isn't really true though" and "how can you not categorise .. teachers" implied socialising with teachers and faculty, not just formal social interactions. It really is true that many children don't have the opportunity to socialise with people outside a narrow age range at school, and that seems like a legitimate thing to dislike.
