It's just fill in the blanks. Take the number for box #8 of your W2 and type it in here.

it's just addition and subtraction, but it's a basic skill that a lot of people lack when they leave high school.

you don't need to dedicate a whole semester to it or anything, but still.

You're allergic to bees and get stung by a bee on school grounds. Where do you want to go? The nurse or the librarian? Exactly. Schools need to stop being intimidated by the medical mafia and pharmaceutical pimps and put more resources into our healing libraries.

them into numbers and keep it movin ?!!?

This was moment that made really side eye math as a kid

& i still didnt know why the dudes yelled and then got off of the girl.


stupid shit tbh good teachers know how to make even the randomest stuff to a kid relevant


like one teacher was so extreme abt the importance of semi colons and we used to laugh like shit

but now
a lot of ppl still don't know the difference between a comma and one. im sure its the teachers fault for not helping kids understand why this fuckery is irrelly

The world always needs carpentry and masonry. Someone always needs an electrician...or the ability to fix general autmotive problems.

I remember in my 3rd grade class this one teacher was targeting kids at random one day. I don't recall anyone provoking him to do it either, he just seemed to be on a power trip. Fortunately I wasn't one of those who got hit. Back in the mid 80's here in Harlem I remember school feeling more like jail overall.

When the majority of the class went apeshit and wrecked the classroom whenever there was a substitute teacher for the day was senseless too.

I legit almost didn't graduate from high school because of not doing my homework. I retained the information without it. It made me understand that school isn't about learning the course work. If it was I would have been a straight A student.
