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.
Public schools and the EneMedia treat us like mushrooms....
They keep us in the dark and feed us sh*t!
...and why they put fluoride in the public water systems
If you needed to click on the video for the answer... you might be a dumbass.
That was great
