The American education system (for my old millennial ass)

“Memorize this. No I will not explain how it works or why. Memorize it take the test and leave me alone.”

Me who is physically incapable of memorizing seemingly arbitrary stuff and needs to understand for it to stick: I guess fuck me then huh? 1/4 pounder it is!

Sounds like you were in the “regular” class. I went to the smart kid class, and they did a much better job of explaining stuff.

Yeah I definitely was. Our regular class of 30 kids in one classroom, one graduation class of 900… The goddamn school was a city of 2,000 kids… Of all those kids, and therefore all those parents paying taxes, we somehow couldn’t afford paper one year. Of my class of 900, 400 graduated. That should tell you something about the shithole I come from lol

Sounds a hell of a lot like my Australian school experience.

My high school was great, if you were doing poorly in a class then next year they’d put you in an easier class to bring up your average grade (And if that didn’t work, then they’d just ignore you).
