Etiquette one I don't agree. It's just being respectful and mindful. You will acknowledge it once you see the absolute lack of it.
I don't think this means "Etiquette (please and thank you)", I think this means "Etiquette (look at this rube using his crab fork to grab pasta, what a yokel)"
god didn't put 'em at the ends of your arms to pick your nose with, after all
"Being bad at stuff" is also so selective. The other kids are not expected to be two years ahead in math, but I am expected to be able to sit perfectly still for 4 hours and pay attention in an oxygen depleted room. Everybody has to have this nearly exact same skillset.
It's not what society needs, not even what the industry needs in the workforce, but that is most convenient for the teachers.
that is most convenient for the teachers
Nope, also extremely inconvenient to them. It's only actually convenient for a small selection of neurotypicals with ideal or near ideal home lives/parent involvement, while nearly every other kid benefits from basic adhd accomodations like fidget toys or being allowed to sit/lie wherever to do their work. We haven't made any significant progress on teaching since the victorian era.
That low oxygen training will come handy when you work on a spaceship or a submarine. Training the spacemen of tomorrow!
I remember when I was really, really young I hadn't figured out all the nuanced definitions of the word "bad". At some point (I think it was in Sunday school) I told an adult that I put cereal in the fridge once. They said that was bad. So then I was all like "fuck, I guess I'm going to hell"
Things were going great for me too. I was looking forward to heaven. I mean, sure, I'd lied, cheated, had bad thoughts, murdered a few people here and there, had wild sex with everyone, you know, the usual, but it was all good, still goin to heaven. But fuck me, I put the cereal in the refrigerator yesterday and now I'm doomed to spend eternity in hell. I was THIS close.
Are you talking about me, or the person in the photo? If you're talking about the former, then you would be correct.
