No child left behind lol. Because not all kids are winners. So lower the standard to the lowest common denominator so collectively we are all stupid.

the way things are phrased on their math homework.... I honestly don't see how kids can learn it at all. Its barely in english. Its like word-salad.

I think it is fine. But I do live where I do specifically for the schools.

Because intelligence and achievement smack of white privilege.

When people say white privilege or white supremacy. I say thank you for acknowledging that I am better than you.

It's really "no child gets ahead." Because it's much easier to neglect high performing children and let them stagnate then to bring up low performers. So they classify the low ones as ADHD/Special Ed, neglect the high ones and teach the rest to the test. The rest of the time indoctrinating them into Marxism.

I don't do that for nickels, but I will often do that to get quarters back. I know that face when their brain shorts out, its funny af.

I'm like "just type it into the register, you'll get it when you see CHANGE DUE, just trust me..."

I do this too. The fucking rage they feel when forced to punch cents into their automatic calculator is strange.

Most just enter the amount on a register and it tells them what to give back.

We’re not going to teach you how to brute force your way through a math problem. We’re going to teach you a “trick.” First draw 87 bubbles...

Yep! That BS was in our private school in IL. Former school that is. Homeschooling is our RESET button for our fifth grader.

They actually took away music/art classes, advanced classes, and extracurricular activities?

yes. they dont even go a full five days a week either. because "theyre broke". uh-huh. they have these tablets they issue kids and they use them to play CNN to them daily and call it "social studies".

This is not some deep-black shit-on school either. Its just suburbia right now in a blue shit-hole.
