Little children hate going to school too, I wouldn't say that makes
education a form of coercion, though. (However, that isn't to say that it
can't be.)
Small children generally dislike anything that involves them wearing
uncomfortable clothes and sitting still for any length of time. (But, if
forced, I would easily choose sitting beside a little kid for the duration
of a church service over having to sit next to the same child on a plane
trip of equal length!)
