…yeah jocks getting life-changing injuries in their school years is actually pretty comparable to “gifted kids” getting traumatized by this shithole version of America
not funny ha-ha so much as what the fuck is wrong with americans, why are they like this to their kids
That’s too bad dude. Our highschool wasn’t perfect but we had a lot of teachers that cared. And it was an art highschool so we had 3 separate full time art teachers that covered different disciplines. It was awesome fr a person that liked art
I had teachers that cared a lot. It was everything else that I hated. The other students, the schedule, the mountains of rote work.
High school had this nasty vibe that made my skin crawl all the time I was there. I didn’t want to go to class anymore. I stopped going and eventually dropped out.
Decades later I finished high school through online courses and then went to university and got my degree. Wish I’d taken that option earlier.
That’s how my wife experienced school also, I think she started faking illness and then she quit around grade 10, later in life went to college and was an A student.
Reminds me of the bunnies and tortoise dance - the story behind it is that there’s fast learners, and then slower learners that have to work extra hard to keep up, more than the fast learners, but in the end they all burn out except the one last kid left alone. Sad af, cool dance, cool idea.

Not exclusive to the US. I’m Canadian and I found high school awful and traumatizing.

Single path seems unhelpful for many people
