I can definitely see a few Lord of the Flies concerns that are probably legit

I think the point of Lord of the Flies was that these children were marooned outside the influence of adults, which would not be the case in a youth-liberated society where generational segregation is not enforced and adult can be sources of wisdom rather than austere authority figures. If anything, the prevalence of bullying could be seen as a Lord of the Flies scenario, where children trapped inside their little classroom islands develop their own brutal social hierarchies.
