School logic. Infinite power to punish and restrict, infinite resources to harm and burden, nothing for support or uplift.
It’s not anyone else’s job to support and uplift you. Be a strong person and learn to strive to overcome.
Quit being so soft, this is the easy part
You must be LARPing. You’re far too much of a caricature to be real. You gonna lecture me about my bootstraps next? Pen an op ed about how “nobody wants to work anymore”?
Bro, that’s good advice man.
If kids are already breaking because they don’t have support to hold their hands through 11th grade history class, if it’s too hard to get up and get to school everyday, pay attention, do your homework, etc without special attention from adults …. I mean …. Life is really gonna kick your ass later
Yeah because as we all know, teenagers (14-18 for high school mind you, not sure why you’re specifically saying 11th graders?) are emotionally mature, rational actors who are ready to take on the world with no emotional support or direction.
It’s just hyperbole to illustrate a point. I don’t know why people are so literal online.
I’m not just talking about 11th graders lol
I’m saying that the time to need emotional support from your teachers happens much younger. When you’re 14-18 you’re learning to be an adult. If you don’t learn how to manage yourself emotionally, or provide your own means of motivations, etc you’re not developing into adulthood on a pace that should be expected of you.
If your emotional development is too far delayed, it’s likely to cause you suffering the longer you take to learn it.
Where’s the hyperbole? You’re also affirming what I’m saying with the rest of your comment.
I did all this shit, anyway. Twenty years ago. Sacrificed everything on the altar of the almighty A. What did it get me? A master's degree I'm too depressed and anxious to ever use and a long-standing hatred of the system. Now I speak out because nobody listens to the people who are still in the system. The people directly affected by it are easy to ignore. Now I'm the demographic people listen to whether they should or not, so I'm saying what I wish people had said when it was me.
what happened to lemmy, what the fuck is this shit, how does this have 9 upvotes? quit being so soft? go back to boomer facebook, jesus fucking christ
“Oh no, the teacher isn’t in tune with my emotions, I’m so hard done by, how can I be expected to excel if everything and everyone doesn’t revolve around me? Wahhhh”
GTFO, and yes be strong, don’t be weak. The world is a dangerous fucking place.
This is the one time I wouldn't mind if the Hexbearians would come in and be assholes.
I don't know about you, but my school did the best it could. Some adults might even say what you said about society in general - infinite resources to harm and burden, etc. People usually try their best, your teachers too. Maybe you'll grow up to be a teacher and you'll be better at it than the ones you had. Good luck!
I grew up and became a librarian instead, because I genuinely enjoy helping people find the things they are interested in, but couldn't lend my energy to a system that doesn't care about the that they are interested in part, among other flaws.
