If you needed to click on the video for the answer... you might be a dumbass.
That was great
When I first entered the public school system in 2nd grade, everything was stupidly behind what I'd already learned in the 1st grade at a church school. I sat there bored to tears the entire year. The teacher would pass out math tests of adding single digit numbers. Everyone else in the class was puzzling over them. I just filled in all the answers and turned my paper over. The teacher finally let me start getting a book to read after I finished tests.
In third grade, the "science" book we were using said there were only 98 elements. That's how old the book was. I knew there were 103 elements at the time. Being the way I am, I told the teacher that there were 103 elements. She told me no, the book says 98, and it has to be right.
5th and 6th grade were both a void. I didn't learn anything new at all. There was no new math to learn, I could spell all the words, etc. It felt more like I was in a holding cell while we waited to get older.
7th and 8th grade was a whirlwind. They tried to cram too much in our heads all at once, and each teacher gave us enough homework to last hours every day. I was up till nearly midnight some nights working on it. So I missed a lot of sleep. The teachers said they were preparing us for how hard high school would be.
When I got to high school, it was a breeze. There were fewer subjects at one time, and almost no homework at all. The 7th and 8th grade teachers had lied to me. I zoomed through high school with an A average. It was so easy and fun, I had perfect attendance for all four years.
Public school sucks, especially in the lower grades.
