I feel like the academic performance thing is completely disconnected from reality
being good at school, is its own thing
Replying to taxes #tzfi If I need to truly learn something or force myself I can grasp concepts easily, but when it comes to multiple AP classes and them all being extremely hands off and being given the option to "slack" it creates that void
I've talked to spooky about this before but unironically gifted children are as "special needs" as literal retards
so now I have absolutely zero idea of what a proper work ethic is or how to improve mine I just have a vague idea of what I like to do and what works for me, that being my pursuit of work like a feral dog and literally just rushdown-ing anything that I have to do without any sort of plan or finesse just tearing it apart
See, that's what spooky meant when he said I am retarded
when do you think the switch happens Max
the being good at school skill
I didn't need to start studying until university
I feel like there's a transition between absorbing info and demonstrating/applying it
and in a bad school system, you don't have to do much of the latter until late HS or college
but when I hit stuff like Calc and physics where it's the application of methods, and you need to study and review problems on how to combat problems or apply methods, and you're given loads of homework I didn't really have the drive, or really abilitiy to study, because I've also never really done homework
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 and in a bad school system, you don't have to do much of the latter until late HS or college
I don't neccisarilly think it's wrong though
The main problem with schools as far as I have noticed is they are designed for middle of the road people. So if you are too gifted you do not need to study and you never learn those skills, so university is harder
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak I mean, he is smarter than you as far as what I have seen
I said he helped both of you, but only one passed
I thought you wanted someone in VC to answer questions you had as you did work, and you never asked me any questions
my bad
should have clarified
Pika I'm curious
how many people in your UW program
are actually impresssive
Maybe of my class of like 60, there were like 4-6 who I think will do some really interesting physics/math stuff
