I’d just change my name to Aaron Aardvark and collect my twenty-five hundred dollars (minimum) per report card.
My real name actually has 5 As. Also, funnily, all of them are pronounced differently lol.
Scandinavian?
Indian Bengali
Ah I see!
Should have went with my parents. “You’re expected to get As and Bs. Anything else and you’re in trouble.”
Which taught me to only work hard enough to get a B in every class.My mother wanted all As. I think I broke her when I flunked gym class.
Lolol the only class I failed was gym. My mom started yelling at me… I had to remind her that it was just gym not math and she let it go.
I don’t want to one up, but I got in trouble for every A minus. My parents were petty bitches and my education system was easy unless you had a teacher who didn’t like you. just doing the homework got you a B+
No money was promised, just punishment.
Can’t wait for their kids to circle every “a” on the report card.
“Mathematics: D” that’s $1k.
“Art: D” thats $500.
“Physical Education: D” another $1kMy parents didn’t have any money so it was some hot bullshit like $5 for an A.
I got this (1-5 is like A-F in my country, but I’ll go with the letters anyway):
A = +€1
B = +€0.50
C = €0
D = -€0.50
F = -€1
Teacher’s note = -€1With some static monthly base. At first, the base was low enough I sometimes got debt as my pocket money in middle school…
Teacher’s notes were even for shit like “doesn’t have a pen” or “pencil not sharp enough”.
I’m sorry, your teachers would really send a note home if your pencil was insufficiently sharp, rather than just telling you to sharpen it? Jesus christ.
I once was made to sit out from recess for… I don’t know, like 4 times, which means two days of no recess, for not bringing a pencil to the reading circle.
Some teachers are shit, and others only know punishment as a way to correct behavior and then try to apply it to shaping behavior.
I feel like there are a lot of teachers that have no business teaching.
There’s only two types of teachers you get at the pay level most schools have and the ones that genuinely care and just want to better children through education are few and far between.
wait how do you get only 2 recess breaks per dayedit: recess does not mean what i thought it means
Only 2? I only got one, which was part of lunch. How many is normal?
do i not know what recess means, or do you just go from class to class without breaks?
edit: i don’t know what recess means. i thought it was generally a break between two classes. apparently you have those plus longer ones called recess. in that case that should be normal.
That was what we got when I was a kid. Once in the morning, once in the afternoon. 20 minutes or so.
Al Bundy in the profile is a GenX-tier deep cut.
Shallow cut. Everyone knows Dr. Shoe.
Or greedy, that’s an added bonus.
I can’t fathom calling my own kids stupid. Joke or not. If they’re not bright I wonder whose fault that is 🤔
Didn’t call them stupid. That’s derogatory. If they are not that bright I don’t think it does any good to tell them that they are bright. Build up their strengths but don’t mask their weakness. As to who’s fault, crappy education system, genetics? An intern not getting oxygen to the baby until cyanosis sets in at delivery? Who knows.
“Isn’t” that bright.
OMG I thought it said My kids ain’t that bright and I was trying to make fun of it, but it was correct and now i feel stupid

Kids is plural.
“My kid isn’t smart”.
“My kids aren’t smart”.Edit: I thought it said my kids ain’t that bright so I jokingly said. “My kids isn’t that bright”
I don’t read so good
You kids isn’t?
