I can’t fathom calling my own kids stupid. Joke or not. If they’re not bright I wonder whose fault that is 🤔
Didn’t call them stupid. That’s derogatory. If they are not that bright I don’t think it does any good to tell them that they are bright. Build up their strengths but don’t mask their weakness. As to who’s fault, crappy education system, genetics? An intern not getting oxygen to the baby until cyanosis sets in at delivery? Who knows.
My parents didn’t have any money so it was some hot bullshit like $5 for an A.
I got this (1-5 is like A-F in my country, but I’ll go with the letters anyway):
A = +€1
B = +€0.50
C = €0
D = -€0.50
F = -€1
Teacher’s note = -€1With some static monthly base. At first, the base was low enough I sometimes got debt as my pocket money in middle school…
Teacher’s notes were even for shit like “doesn’t have a pen” or “pencil not sharp enough”.
Can’t wait for their kids to circle every “a” on the report card.
“Mathematics: D” that’s $1k.
“Art: D” thats $500.
“Physical Education: D” another $1k“Isn’t” that bright
You kids isn’t?
Kids is plural.
“My kid isn’t smart”.
“My kids aren’t smart”.It’s already wrong so I can come up with some more wrong options. “My kids isn’t that bright” See?
I’d just change my name to Aaron Aardvark and collect my twenty-five hundred dollars (minimum) per report card.
My real name actually has 5 As lol.
Should have went with my parents. “You’re expected to get As and Bs. Anything else and you’re in trouble.”
Which taught me to only work hard enough to get a B in every class.Al Bundy in the profile is a GenX-tier deep cut.
Or greedy, that’s an added bonus.
