So every four weeks or so, maths teacher would give us a test at upper primary level. This was at pre-computer times. One of the questions was always "how long is this line" with a pen-drawn line underneath. Except, the pen he used always left a blot at the end of the line and sometimes there was a little flick from where he lifted his pen up.

Simple I thought, the line is 10.2cm - 10-3cm! Easy! But, it was always marked wrong. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. Correct answer: 10cm. It wasn't like to be rounded to the nearest cm or anything, just "how long is this line". The ink blot counted. It counted!

I'm still bitter.

Failed a high school required class because I have poor writing abilities. (I word good.. just my penmanship is trash)

Literally got a 0 on a midterm because the teacher "couldn't read my writing"

Crap like the green text and my high school experience is why parents need to be involved in a child's education.

thats been 30 years ago.. I'm still bitter. But it'll make me a better father to school aged kids

Little did they know nearly no one needs to wield a pen now, or for the last couple of decades

Ah yes, the American "educational' industrial complex, I know it well. It's also fond of literally leaving behind and moving on from and kids who are struggling, like happened to me in math. Then I got in trouble because my abusive, alcoholic mother thought I was slacking off. Therapy is your friend. So are antidepressants to keep me from killing myself, but that's only tangentially related.

This or something similar has happened to everyone I know 🇨🇦

7 when the story happened, tells it 15 years later in 2020, so I'm supposed to believe this guy is 7 - 15 + 2025 - 2020 = -3 today. Something doesn't check out about this story.

And now, I feel rage too. Be very afraid, unnamed teacher!

AI is coming for your job!

The time I told the story about how I had mud pies for my 5th birthday and said they used Oreo crumbs to make it look more realistic …. I was stood in front of the entire kindergarten and made to say the word and what it meant.

Idk why I don’t like attention 40 years later
