idk a perfect way

realistically we should be full on segregating in elementary school

but the SOLs are a terrible metric

I don't think they're

as bad as you're stating

Maybe I was just around retards

but the same people who "passed advanced" were always not retards

and 600s were rare

I don't recall a single person I ever considered retarded to pass advance, and never did I see someone get a perfect score who I didn't later see become pretty smart

we'd have 1-2 people score below 500 in a class of 20-30

really

Most of the people who make it to university are somewhat retarded

and half the class would get 600s or 59Xs

yes

maybe they changed them

or north Virginia diff

because

100% not like that

the do evolve the tests a bit year-to-year

class of 30 kids two people would get 600s

but idk, they always sucked

maybe 1

oh no, we'd get a pizza party if 10 people got 600s

and we ALWAYS got them

yeay

yeah it was not like that

at all

we are like 10 years apart

10...

Max

try 4-5

like 6

that's a whole generation

or maybe I was just surrounded by retards my entire life

also possible

generation xyyy

but for me atleast I never saw.more than 3 people get a 600

uh, if you started college on time, I think we'd be 4 classes apart

or else I'm counting wrong

so do your math according to that

you were a HS jr my college jr year

no

so I'm saying that's 4 years

yeah

that can't be true

spooky

we MET

when I was a junior

i turned 18 2020, and graduated 2020

oh ok, 5 school years then

I'm class of 2029

2019* for college

Very young spooky

you are not class of 2019

I'm also class of 2019

ok

i was about to say

he meant "college"

yea

also again I didn't really mean to be gaudy or "yeah I was gifted sigh... I'm so smart 🤓 " about any of this, I think in the end being gifted doesn't really effect anything other than the developmental years and it's also a topic I care heavily about and I do believe the concept of being "gifted" really is only relevant in early developemental years when you need to grasp many concepts fast and are "learning".

no, I know Max

I get what you meant

but due to that even more I feel like it's a relevant issue that should be treated with more force

You probably got a big bump for english literacy levels with all the light novels you read honestly.

I only have myself to blame for my own downfalls and lack of investment and studying skills in topics, but I do think if the system was setup better it could stop more people from ending up like that

education is such a weird issue

I didn't read light novels and web novels until HS

I did read a LOT in elementary school though

because so many people just disregard the idea that it should be improved, or rethought

I was extremely bored so I just read during class all day b ecause I literally had nothing else to do

and the two extremes are "do nothing, it's fine" or "copy Asia, and have kids live at school 12 hours/day"

in 4th grade my teacher got mad at me for reading so much even though I was literally highest grades and the best student, so she took away my books and I ended up talking to myself so she isolated me in a corner

which I think is the exact opposite way to handle that situation 💀

I can list a lot more examples of that of my own expierneces alone for being punished for just being faster

ok Max, grades in Elementary School

do they matter?

My careers teacher in high school let me watch the urealms cartoon and play tetris because I fished the work in 5 minutes

I remember being graded on all sorts of retarded categories

like "teamwork"
