    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.
