I was a little nervous at posting since I feel like everyone is going to think Im exaggerating and ungrateful but here it goes. Background info: I’m currently a junior in highschool. I’m Hispanic, and come from a low-income family. I’ll be the first one in my family to graduate from college. I’ve always loved […]

In America, all the people I know with bad grades literally don’t do their work. On-level classes especially aren’t that hard for the vast majority of kids. The problem with grades isn’t the school’s problem, it’s the parents’ problem. Kids these days are undisciplined and they place education very low on their list of priorities. […]

Hi, I hope it’s ok to post this here but I’m not sure where to ask. I’ve been seeing new people for help with my mental health lately, and been especially looking back at my mental health as a child for a better understanding of my brain and my possible mental illnesses. When I was […]

I’m a divorced, single parent. I’m laid off from my job as of 2 weeks ago and I decided this is the perfect time to go back to school. I applied about 10 minutes ago. I’m nervous about how I will afford it, how I will take care of my kids while taking classes, but […]

Hi everyone, I’m at a huge crossroads in my life and I really don’t know what to do. I have a degree in Political Science, and it’s gotten me nowhere other than the fact that it’s a degree and I graduated with high honors. I’ve started working more in education and did some childcare programs, […]

My friend wants to study in the best education systems countries. He has money so he can go anywhere. But he doesn’t know what to choose. I guess maybe Finland has the best education system in the world. And also while Finland is doing many things right in education, they are also doing things outside […]

So in the past couple of weeks I’ve entered the dating scene again. Not being very good at finding women I’ve had a couple of married friends of mine set me up on two blind dates. The first woman I went out with was a lovely woman both in looks and in personality. We went […]

My high-school years were very smooth, but then I remembered that I was the bully. So, former-bullies, do you have any regret of what you put people through? or are you..secretly proud? As for myself.. I was a manipulative bastard. I cheated on tests and then when I got caught I’d be sure to have […]

My daughter starts kindergarten next year, and I’m terrified. Shootings are always in the back of my mind. When I go to the store, I’m thinking “what’s my plan if there’s a shooting?” After Texas, I just don’t know what I’m going to do. I’m a single parent and I have to work. A lot […]

As a child who was homeschooled I can testify for the lack of structure and substance. 75% of homechool families are on a faith basis with the mother being the primary instructor. Most have no college degrees or any teaching experience. Homeschooling also leads to an extreme decline in social skills due to seclusion in […]
