Kids these days need to get a taste of real American culture.

Posting in comics because I feel like calling them memes would be an insult to the man.

that a us thing? here the gifted program was just if you did well in a subject then you got accelerated. i was in it and my family was poor enough to qualify for free school meals

In the us school funding is decided by property taxes so more affluent areas have more resources for their students. This includes better teacher pay more tutors better teacher student ratio and better curriculum and extra ciricular activities. This is all part of the lie that is the meritocracy. I think funding is done differently elsewhere.
