And now, in the news site I read, apparently they won't say what American school, but 1 in 34 kids in a woman's class, elementary school, passed. The rest can't even do basic skills the teacher puts up on the board, like spelling one syllable words. This is now understandable, and one of the reasons why I dropped out in high school, and got my GED then my Masters in Accounting and understudied in Finance. My reward for studying well was getting my ass handed to me EVERY SINGLE FUCKING MISERABLE FUCKING DAY OF MY HIGH SCHOOL LIFE until I barely graduated 11th grade and then I dropped out. Even my parents were no help, usually sticking with the bullies, saying I was antagonizing them somehow. Yeah, I want them to inflict huge pain on me, yeah. Dumbass. But at least my grandma and parents made sure when I was little to have a love and thirst for enlightenment, with the rewards being a booster. Now, after I got adapted to it, online self paced learning is the way to go for me.
