  1. what about those ridiculous parents who purposefully hold a kid back a grade to give them an edge over other kids? so dumb. all the girls who got left back in my schools were always, without fail, the biggest Ho bags by the time 7th grade rolled around.

    *rob*

  2. I was a smart kid for about 2 seconds when I was young. After that I was a bad kid / troublemaker. A couple of weeks after I started school they sent me somewhere to take some test. All I remember is them reading me long strings of letters and numbers and telling me to repeat them backwards (I got all of it right). Then they told me to go to second grade the next day. So there I was by far the youngest kid in the class and for the rest of my time in school (until I dropped out in 9th grade) all of the other kids were always older and bigger than I was. I don’t know if that’s connected to my turning into a bad kid but after that but since this is America and nothing is ever your own fault that’s what I blame it on.

    “Not polite to discuss grades. Even at my kids school, there’s a rule about not discussing grades with anyone.”

    OK, I’ll say it. God forbid a minority has low grades.

    Unless the Asian kids have all the high grades, and then the white parents assume their Tiger parents are sending all of them to cram school 4 hours a day, 7 days a week.
