While we should absolutely investigate the issue, it’s only one dimension of the education experience. Missing an education and/or the social learning of school can have negative effects that only show up later in adult life. An uneducated 10 year old may be happy to avoid school all day, but a 30 year old who was never properly educated is most likely going to have a very bad time for the rest of their life. Trying to shelter kids from every possibly negative feeling, including before it happens, is a natural parenting impulse. However, overly sheltering kids from potential difficult experiences usually leads to much worse outcomes in adulthood. Definitely address any depression issues if they come up, but trying to prevent kids from ever experiencing any challenging situations will not be beneficial in adulthood.
