I grew up attending a knock-off Montessori from first to eighth grade that billed itself as an advanced and alternative method school that would allow kids grow at their own pace (ha! says the disabled kid) but in freshman world history both I and a girl from said knock-off Montessori didn't know the answer to something and my teacher flat out asked if we were from that school and gleefully said in front of the entire class that every student he's had from my school was at least a year behind everyone else, so you can understand why I'm flustered about my education

Regular public school has a bad reputation but goddamn did Discovery fuck us all over

#maybe we shouldn't have lumped all the kids in different grades together?#like first and second grades were the same class #third thru fifth grades were the same class #while i was there sixth thru eighth graders were together #but after i started seventh grade the fifth and sixth grade became their own class #it's almost like different grades and ages have different educational needs #tagging my hometown because i'm petty #Richmond Indiana
