The grades one pisses me off.
I’ve seen so many people become disillusioned with university because their professors were bad and the grading was absolutely inconsistent. To say it’s that simple is a gut punch to them and it drives me insane.
Grades as a judgement metric is outdated as fuck and no one wants to admit it. The goal should be to learn, not be judged. If you get something wrong, you should be able to correct it until you understand it. Passing a class should be connected to learning the material, not memorizing for a few tests coreectly.
Trying to get my insurance license, I have learn a shit turn of martial so I can at least get a 70 on a test. That all they care about. On top of that once your license they don’t care what your score is. Lady teaching this course said that she knew a lady failed that test 16 times before passing.
But also 15% to 20% of what your tested on and is the hardest to learn is commercial. And 99% of what you learn won’t be relevant. My former boss at State Farm said that to me. Says we don’t do things the way you will be taught. But couldn’t tesch me their way until I was license.
That requires the teacher actually know what they’re talking about. Which would make them extremely qualified, meaning they would have to be paid well. It’s working as intended. School is meant to create robots that clock in on time.
A lot of factors of one’s success are totally out of their control too. Also, I don’t think their success is really something a kid should be worried about manifesting yet
Kids, just so you’re sure, this is a shitpost and you are NOT responsible for your parents’ divorce.
The only reason they increasingly shouted at you in the run up to the divorce was that their marriage was falling apart and divorce is one of the most stressful things that ever happens to people.
I have seen a divorce caused by the presence of a kid.
Coworker and her husband adopted a teenager who had issues. He started physically assaulting my coworker and she didn’t feel safe in the house and wanted the kid gone. Husband said they’d made a promise to care for and love him. In the end, he chose the kid over his wife and they ended up divorced.
Also - I first heard this story from her when she had a breakdown about it on my first day at the job when I went to ask for the key to the supply closet.
I’m sure there are some kids who hate a parent and play the one against them.
Having kids can be stressful, but if you don’t play a largely united front and instead allow the kids to play manipulative games against your partner, you don’t communicate, you take sides and turn on each other, then it’s because one or both of you is snide and used the kids to undermine the other person and the relationship.
It’s still not the kid’s fault if they were brought up to tolerate and play emotional games against family members. Kids start off life completely self absorbed and have to be taught to be kind, share, think about other people’s feelings and prioritise relationships over things. No toddler knows this. All functioning adults do.

Having kids myself and listening to them describe their fellow students’ situations at home, or even how we observe acquaintance’s kids act and how it mirrors parental behaviors, you can bet your ass that they learn from how their parents are acting and what they’re allowed to get away with.

This is me and my wife.

This is my brother-in-law and his wife.
Not sure which way round you mean that. I hope the whole family has more harmony and happiness than just now, though.
Well my nephew has threatened to come kill us. My son has him blocked.
Wow. Sorry to hear that. That must be really tough to cope with.
Eh, just during family get-togethers. It’s fine though. I’m always packing.
True. But.
Kids put a lot of stress on parents relationships.
Oh thank fuck, my mom blamed me for not divorcing my father /hj
Are these mirrors or pieces of rope?
My tits? Is… Is that who did it?
^ didn’t read the fourth mirror
I didn’t even read the first one
Reading is difficult.
I love that the girl had to stand there for the pic like she couldn’t read it from across the room.
