Whenever this topic comes up, people ignore the other side. I was placed in Remedial classes, which might as well have been called Deceleration. Placed in classes with bullies for all of K-12 just because some over eager physiologist decided I had a learning disability and my over protective mother went along with it. The high schools was incredibility stratified having four different levels, not including special ed. I was placed in the bottom rung every time. When they brought me in to discuss what classes I should take in high school, they never actually explained anything, but apparently that counts as agreeing to it.
My social life sucked, my academic life sucked, and I hate everything to do with that place. I would love to be able to look back and only regret the social life being bad. At least my options would be better two shitty community colleges.
And if you’re wondering about my intelligence, I’ve never completed a single college course, but routinely get mistaken for an engineering graduate, even by engineering professors.
