  • “Gifted” programs royally screwed my education. I had huge gaps in my knowledge because they decided that being top percentile in reading/writing (and being the weird kid) meant I could just skip out on classes for special little weird classes or sit with higher grade classes. I just had ADHD btw and really liked to read. Anyway, I would LOVE to know wtf they thought they were doing moving a kid around that much in 3rd-5th. I suffered the hardest with math. I was missing bits and pieces, which is pretty gd important in math, and I’d still somehow get the answers right but talked to about my overly complicated or ✨creative✨ solutions lol. Even now I hide my work if I need to solve something because I’m probably doing it weird… Then later it was really fun finding out that I couldn’t really live up to being “gifted”. 0/10 being special made me less educated.










  • Servers don’t receive a lower wage than anyone else regardless of how you feel about the way they get paid. That’s my point. Boosting minimum wage would help them AND everyone else. I don’t know how much clearer I can be. You guys keep bringing in random things like the staff being treated badly but that’s not relevant to the discussion or unique to restaurant work. I feel like you don’t want to admit that you hate it because you hate tipping but there’s nothing wrong with that. Just stop pretending to be protecting people that aren’t generally any worse off than anyone else making minimum wage.
