“You are reading at college level.”
Translation: “You are baseline literate.”
Advanced classes means slightly less stupid. This makes me think of Beijing University. A lot of kids who were considered the brightest and the best in their little towns their parents would go into debt and borrow money from others in the town to send them to Beijing University.
When the kids arrived they'd discover they weren't as smart as they thought they were and they'd flunk out despite studying as hard as they could. And instead of returning home and embarrassing their parents in front of the other townspeople they'd kill themselves.
Did no one make the effort to publicize these stories to prevent this from happening?
These are well known stories but like with every tragedy everyone always thinks: "This won't happen to me, because I'm different."
I, personally, would never think that because I'm different.
Well, growing up in Oklahoma has definitely caused me a God complex. Being able to read instantly makes me more intelligent than most people I've ever met, so it's very difficult to not assume I'm more intelligent than everyone else. The weird part is that I've always felt kinda dumb, but looking at everyone else, they take it beyond dumb. Everyone else is just completely illogical, like they simply do not think at all.
So very relatable, if I met a room full of people on my level I genuinely don't know how I'd handle that socially
Oklahoma has to have something in the water. I had a parent teacher conference the other day and wrote “x+4=7” on the board as an example of something their middle schooler was struggling with, and I might as well as written 汉子.
