ALRIGHT BUCKLE YOUR SEATBELTS BECAUSE YOU ARE ABOUT TO GO ON A RANTING EXTRAVAGANZA (?) THAT WILL BE THE MOST EXILERATING EXPERIENCE OF YOUR LIFE
so let me just say a thing or two about teachers.
lets just start off with the basics:
pre k/kindergarten teachers
these guys make school seem like the resurrection of jesus because they are so amazing. in my pre k class, everyone would always be so happy and we had this cute little hamster that was named lily or something like that and he was adorable and we had a play room and we would color all the time and we never had to interact with the people we didnt want to and it was the time of my life.
in kindergarten, we started learning the alphabet (which was boring af but i learned what my name looks like) and all that jazz. i think i had to be in a group where we reviewed the letters the most because i distinctly remember sitting at a table with like 5 other people and the teacher, just practicing what the letters sounded like but i dont remember if my teacher did that with everyone or what. BUT WE ALSO GOT TO HAVE A PET GERBIL THAT WOULD ALWAYS ESCAPE/DIE AND I WOULD FREAK OUT BECAUSE I WAS SCARED OF GERBILS.
elementary school teachers
i am aware of the fact that pre k/kindergarten is a part of elementary school but those guys deserve their own freaking category for being the best of the best right here.
once i got past kindergarten, i thought it was gonna be like that for all of the grades. I WAS DEAD WRONG MY BRETHREN.
elementary school was hard. you had to learn basically everything within 5-6 hours, 5 days a week, 9 months a year and i was just not ready for that commitment. like we learned the "please, thank you, no thank you," junk in first grade, and it took me 5ever to get that down. and then we actually had to learn about writing and reading and stuff like that like hm wait oh yeah that will only take me the next 8 years to get my handwriting to look readable (it still isnt hahahahahahahah).
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE
in 2nd grade, we learned numbers and math and ugh. i dont think you understand how confused, hurt, and all around butt sore i was about this grade. i learned how to not be a jerk so much i guesss?????? i still hated everyone but oh well thats their fault.
3rd and 4th grade felt the same to me. i worked on math and reading and writing more but that was about it. ok well i also learned there are other countries than just the united states.
i was also very confused about whether the united states was called the united states of america, the u.s, america, or the united states i was so utterly confused with that even though they all meant the exact same thing. god im so stupid.
but in 5th grade, we went from 0 to 100 real quick there. like just the year before we were learning how to spell our names and then when you get to 5th grade it's like "HERES HOW YOU FIND THE RADIUS OF THE CURCUMFERENCE OF WIND RESISTENCE" like I am 10 not 20 take it down a notch
