They used to get physical abuse too but now they just have to settle for light emotional
As a treat
No dark sarcasms in the classroom
I do not miss one thing about school
Hey! Another space animal!
You will when youâre 24 with a shitty retail job and no friends
Iâm 31 with no friends and worked a shitty retail job for 11 years (I donât anymore cause the place shut down so now I work at a slaughterhouse). I have never once missed school. You couldnât pay me to go back there.
wrong! That does suck but itâs way better than school!
(X) Doubt
(Iâm beyond that age but the reference is better than saying âha, incorrectâ)
Iâm 40 and close to retiring. Ha
Facts
I have like fifty million friends and a great job. I appreciate that my education helped my life, but I donât miss school for a second.
Still better than holding up my my quiz (after being the first to hand it in) and dead-ass asking âWhat is this?â in front of the whole class.
Had a teacher go through the tests, held up one of a class mate and announced âthis is the worst Iâve ever seenâ. A few pages later she holds up mine with âoh, this is even worseâ. đ
Taking one for your mate. Without even a cape.

I just did this last week during an Exam. We do want to help the student out sometimes, but it will be against the rules.
The twist was that you were doing it right. But now your confidence is shattered.
I remember in second grade one of those handouts that you were supposed to follow the instructions of, with the first instruction being âread all instructions carefully before you do anythingâ followed by 18 increasingly ridiculous activities, and the last one being âignore 2-18, turn this paper over, and sit quietly.â
I was one of three kids that actually read the first instruction and followed it all the way down to the bottom. Everybody else looked like idiots LOL.
Apparently itâs been widely used everywhere.
I was so proud for a short time that I was the first and these noobs are still so behind that they are just giggling at it because they still donât know.
The last task hit hard.
Or when they see a student changing an answer and tells the class to go with their first instinct.
That happened to me once but the teacher didnât say it out loud just hinted that I was wrong then I corrected it and she took my paper and said I passed lol
I have to remember that one for exam season to mess with students.
I had a teacher who used to hand out test results starting from the lowest grade and before handing them out he used to look across the room like a shark in a paddling pool.

I remember my math teacher leaving a remark under my test that read âYour chaotic and unorganized way of working is not to your benefit.â

Having both been that student and eventually that teacher*, I can say they are entirely correct in saying that. Now I am much more organized and it really does help. I do have to put more thought and effort in before starting to keep myself organized, but it makes a world of difference. I donât know what, if anything, someone couldâve told me at the time to get me organized, but looking back it wouldâve done me much more good to get in the habit younger.

Iâm well aware but itâs not a choice that i make and you would find it is documented in my IEP plan, had you read it.

Oh yeah? Then why am I lurching through life to survive through sheer force of will!?
