I wonder if this attitude towards children that you sometimes see in schools is a characteristic of "Western" society or if you see it in other societies too. From what I have heard, maybe it is true in some Oriental societies too...
Interesting (to me) to think of why this might be. Guess it reflects the feeling that the children are/should be the parents and should meet the needs of the parents (or other adults) and not embarrass them or make them anxious by being "different" or "trouble".
