My spouse was put in one of those hosed up schools and they lost quite a lot of socialization and related. My sister in law was also home schooled and has quite the issues as well. They are hosed up places

rotor posted:if its just so they can be good at sport i think thats hosed up but there's plenty of kids, esp boys, who just dont mature as fast and sometimes its a kindness to put them with kids their own emotional age. our boy was right on the bubble so we could start him the day of his 5th birthday and he’d be the youngest kid in the class for his whole school career, or wait a few months for the next intake so he was always right in the middle. we chose the latter. both sets of grandparents side eyed us a little

So they're already older graduating from high school, which i think is good.

nm not trying to start an argument, let the race commence but, like, i hope everyone realizes that someone has to be the youngest in the class. that's how it works. Achmed Jones fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Apr 1, 2023 |

my parents held me back a year because of the whole "then you'll be the most mature kid in your class instead of one of the youngest" and all it did was make me hate everyone else in my class and resent the extra year i had to spend in school. that's my story.

i had big agoraphobia issues and dropped out in my mid teens, but my last ditch effort to stay in school was me trying to get approval to transfer to the "alternative school" which was basically just a GED pipeline for teen moms and kids who got caught with drugs. i got denied because of my truancy lol. it took three more years to get my GED. i get mad when i think about my public schooling experiences because it just feels like a cavalcade of failures from all adults around me. i also did AT/GT classes in elementary/middle school but i stopped having any interest it in once people stopped telling me i was smart for my age lol.

my parents put me in kindergarten 1 year early so i was always younger than everyone in my class, i still don’t really know why, probably to get my annoying rear end out of the house asap it was mostly problematic in high school when everyone could get a drivers license except for me i graduated college before i could legally drink lol

another example of llm's devaluing the generation of nonsense text as a status symbol. at least i assume courts are basically mostly willing to let off anyone who writes a sufficiently long letter with surface trappings of education complaining about it.
