Even when children go to courses such as craftwork, drawing or other creative activities, they are put in rows of chairs and tables with a teacher at the front. They are being disciplined to be quiet and sit still. Even though these children are there for their pleasure, they are being bullied as if they were at school. It is hard to avoid the classroom syndrome. At scouts, children are given military drills, they have to recite the national hymn, pledge loyalty to flag and Queen and are disciplined in all kinds of ways.
Similar things happen in organised sport.
Competition is interpreted as a fight out of which only one winner can emerge, after having defeated all the others in a 'bloody fight'. The keyword in sport is 'tough'. Children must get 'tough' all the time. If you try to escape this disgusting mentality and send your children to art classes, dancing or gardening, they are called 'whimps'. But don't think such courses have a much better mentality.
