there was no explanation given for why the upper school classrooms were suddenly being treated like this sacred realm, and travelling to the Land of the Younger Students required negotiating your way past a guarded fence

it just happened

someday when I’m slightly less tired I should tell you guys about the time when my science teacher kidnapped my entire class

(this is less concerning than it sounds)

this was the same school that let my sister just … not learn math … for an entire year, on the theory that since I had been “smart” and “hard-working” the same would apply to her, and there was no need to bother checking

which is especially funny given that half the time I didn’t do my assigned math work anyways and the other half of the time I would do things like, if I was practicing division by threes, making up problems like ‘6394 divided by 3’ (the last digit is different to make it look legitimate, see)

it turns out that while Montessori schools work well in theory, in practice they have a few minor issues.

this is a thing

#10278

the relevant trait here is that rather than doing normal lesson-based instruction all the time, everyone is supposed to learn at their own pace to their own ability level

which works well in theory! and in fact, there are more than zero things about the experience that were positive for me, like, for all I hardly ever actually did any of my math work, I still ended up way ahead of where I would have been if I’d been forced to spend months practicing addition by rote! but in practice when you have one not-super-competent teacher trying to cover a classroom of 30 kids, an awful lot of things slip through the cracks

Haha 28/30 is definitely also 28/40 this is how math works.

meanwhile there’s me who has attended thirteen different public institutions during my lifetime if you count all of them, and no schools of any other type

#10281

this was a public school

not even a public charter school, a public school that was part of a school district

“Haha you spelled thick wrong so you only get 29/30”

“But I wasn’t trying to spell thick, it doesn’t even make sense in that context.”

“Yes, you were.”

There was one point uh, 2.5 or so years ago where I was attending five different public institutions at the same time i think
