  4. I don't know if it's normal. I was taught reading and writing in first grade and I made it all the way to physics PhD. Neither skill (nor math) ever set me back, so it's not necessary to teach children to read before they go to school. The problem in the US are middle and high school. Since we are sending slow learners and fast learners to the same classes we end up with overtaxing the slow learners and underchallenging the fast kids. Other countries are solving this with a multi-tiered school system. Kids are being separated into two or three different schools, typically after fourth grade. That was no kid has to experience the frustration of being completely outclassed by their peers and/or being bored to death by the glacial speed at which the material is being taught.

  5. Why in the world would a kid care about family members???? You are simply upset because your desperate need for validation has not been met by absolutely everybody you meet. I call that "family from hell". You can't pick family they say...

  6. It's much more simple than that. There are teachers who have authority and then there are teachers who do not. I went to one of the best high schools imaginable (half a century ago) but there was this one teacher who simply could not control a class. He was soon replaced. Every other teacher knew how to deal with us. It's just technique. And no, there was no corporal punishment. The teachers simply sent the worst behaved kids who wouldn't cooperate to the principal's office. I was told by a teacher that the guy was absolutely brutal in the way he would dress you down psychologically. I am not aware that anybody ever had to go to his office twice. You got that treatment once and you were done for life.

  7. Your mom has to give you positive guidance on how to behave. A teacher gives you knowledge. If a teacher has to teach you how to behave, then something already went wrong.

  8. Because you can't afford high quality private education at $100,000+ a year. Mostly. ;-) There is one other option: move to a country with a high quality education system.

  9. Nah, you are just talking to the wrong people all day long.

  10. How did you become an arsonist? What did your parents do to you? :-)
