gen z culture is perpetually switching between "i am the smartest person in the world and i deserve a nobel prize for intelligence" to "i have the iq of an iguana how did i pass fourth grade" in school
Here's more ranting/aimless nostalgic rambling about the curriculum I had in elementary school, because I found a trove of scans of various worksheets and often I feel like I can't explain how I grew up because I just have zero physical evidence or copies of things. There will most likely be more of this I'll be posting on its own so check for that also
To start with, this is the specific cursive I learned to write in growing up, myself from first grade and my brother from kindergarten, although at first it was very minimal how much would be written in cursive because of yknow, kid dexterity
Now, I either completely misunderstood what the instructions were and took them very literally, or my elementary teacher was a dick in some way, because I got very perfectionistic very early about getting these Exactly Right. For some reason I thought the more close to the examples something looked, the better it was, so obviously to have good handwriting you must mimic the examples perfectly as possible
[ID: a fairly complex cursive style guide for the alphabet, numbers, and some punctuation. /End ID]
This was another worksheet where a student would trace the letters, and according to the info where I found this, this was for first graders
[ID: a worksheet with the following words and parts of words: edy, duo, mid, glue, dixie, exit, dge, jix, ode. /End ID]
Idc if this gets no notes but omg im so proud
Tw school/grades/etc
I'm torn. I wanted to get a new computer for starting grad school, but I just found out I didn't get into grad school. I want to get the new computer, but now I feel like I don't have a reason to justify it. My old computer still works for the most part (the battery is a little finicky), so it's not like I really need it. It's just that now on top of not getting into grad school, I also don't have this new computer that I wanted
shoutout to every system going through school right now

I know it sucks, and I wholeheartedly believe in you all <3
i hate the idea/trope that poor kids who do well in school don’t need any support when it comes to college, or that they all get full-ride scholarships. i don’t do well in school now that i’m in uni but i was a straight-A student throughout all of middle & high school and i got 1 (one) scholarship for $500/semester, which is less than 5% of my tuition. i didn’t have the opportunities or knowledge a lot of the other wealthier kids had, whose parents and grandparents and siblings had gone to college too. like we don’t all end up getting exactly the help we need, and i know the poor kids who weren’t straight-A students had an even harder time getting into college, if they did at all. it’s rough out here for all of us. the only sure-fire way a kid could get guaranteed financial assistance was if they had knowledge of the system and the time and money to pursue them. it sucks
