Happy New Years (cautious)

This tweet PUNCHED ME in the FACE

seriously LJ icons were fabulous and I miss them. I especially miss once we got more than 3 and so we could have a bunch for different moods? good times.

You could pick a different icon whenever you commented so every comment had the extra context of whatever your icon said. You could have a whole metatextual conversation in icons. It was like the earliest form of communicating through gifs.

people misunderstand what ‘gifted kid’ actually means but it’s ok it’s fine it’s cool it’s good

it’s not about actually being gifted, it’s about an initial higher scoring on standardized testing that means little to nothing or being good at learning in the way elementary and middle school wants you to, so you get marked as ‘advanced’. in reality, maybe you had faster development in certain areas, but the issue with being a gifted kid isn’t that “everyone told me I was so cool and special for reading and then I actually wasn’t :(” it’s “I wasn’t properly taught to handle things not coming easily to me, but the adults around me were counting on me not being a ‘difficult’ child in school.”

people who use it as some weird bragging method or interpret it that way are ignoring the way a lot of school systems force certain roles on students to simplify the learning process. If your kid doesn’t need to take notes to understand a science concept bc they get it naturally, well that’s good, but now you’re not teaching them how to take notes and they’re not learning that important soft skill. but because ‘gifted’ kids are easy and don’t show that they’re falling behind in learning in other categories that are harder to quantify, they eventually fall behind after that catches up to them. It’s about the failures of a one size fits all school system trying to compensate in the worst way possible.

I was good at tests so when I did badly on work teachers and my parents thought I was being lazy. Its taken me a decade to unlearn that.

I need this.

Reblogged last year, hoping it comes this year

why dont you look at pictures of baby wolf pups howling and maybe you'll calm down

2021 lasted 5 seconds and those 5 seconds lasted 20 years that felt like only a few months i hope that clears things up

Sometimes you just decide to get a masters degree to buy some time before you have to get a real job and that’s valid

[ID: Tweet by Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg @/TheRaDR [verified] that says:

We need diverse representation not only so every kid can see themselves as the hero of the story, but so that every kid can understand that *other* kinds of kids are *also* the heroes of the story.
