#uk schooling

Lying awake at like 2am last night overthinking about that time when I was like six and a teacher asked everyone "What do older people have that young people don't" and I straight up with FULL ON confidence answered "wrinkles" and I got wrong. Like I was so upset. I answered the question!!?? How is that rude? Older people have wrinkles!!!

The right answer was apparently "money" we then began learning about counting money.

Surprisingly, I didn't get diagnosed till I was 13 cause my school said I was a "perfectly normal child".

My sister's results are in. Knowing how my followers did, how UK friends in high school did and how a lot of my course mates did in high school. Is it even possible to get great/good scores in UK? Or is that just a myth?

Teacher: Sure! If you just- Nevermind *takes laptop and starts editing* I’m not supposed to be doing this. Don’t tell.

it really feels awful going from being praised everyday and being given high levels in primary school to being made feel like you're stupid because you're not achieving A* in mid term assessments in Year 10
