it kind of reminds me of 'mudblood' from harry potter a bit, also from pop fiction -- and similarly considered harmless. yeah it's not directly harmful -- wizards aren't real -- but it also serves as an (often first) int

Doesn't it swing both ways? You view it as time wasted, another might view it as time socializing and self organizing -- primary school is there to teach people first and foremost how to integrate into society and be 'normal'
