Treating students like they’re 1400s peasants

More like 1500-1700. 1400’s weren’t worst time for peasants in Europe, it was still rebulding after the Black Death, people were more scarce than land, leading to massive internal colonisation efforts where peasants could get lawfully protected privileges and own their land. This was also before religious wars (except Hussite) and serfdom was fairly rare and less awful compared to later.
