Eh, it was an alternative ed school, mostly for people who had problems in general ed for whatever reason (if you care, I was months behind due to frequent hospital trips), emotional kids, etc. So, not explicitly retards, but the line was pretty thin sometimes.

In grade 6 I was permanently removed from woodshop class for being a nuisance, me and this other fellow. Every week after that we spent that hour with a guy who worked in connection with the afterschool youth center (couldn't think of a better word for it in the english language).

Instead of building birdhomes or shelves, we built speakers, casted tin army men and painted them and play snooker or pinball. That's the only special treatment I ever received and it was the best school year of my life.

Too tired to "OOH, LISTEN TO MY STORIES", honestly, but fine:

One day, when the terrible lunch arrived, we'd all discovered that instead of the (again, I must stress, terrible) chicken nuggets coming with french fries, they came with tater tots.
A kid in the class was displeased with this.
So basically, he gets angrier and angrier about it (once they get started on something, they're not easy to stop) until he's throwing a full-fledged tantrum, at which point it's now pretty much damage control.
It ended with the huge black guy there, our closest thing to security, having to drag the kid away from the glass window he was -slamming his head against-, and pinning him on the floor while 911 was called to get the kid and his now torn-to-shit forehead to the hospital.
Never saw him again.

Last night I had a dream about this kid who went to the school I used to go to, who had cerebral palsy. I was investigating into some huge mystery or conspiracy or something, when I discovered some video logs from him where he'd uncovered almost everything, because he was actually a genius, despite his limited communication skills making him appear like a retard (think about the first impression Steven Hawking would give if he didn't have the text to speech machine), and there was even this one clip where he got chased by guards while trying to escape in his electric wheelchair. For some reason, the rest was up to me.

No wonder I find it so disappointing to wake up after dreams like that.

I was forced to be in the top class actually. And by forced I mean was offered a place and accepted.

There was this one neonazi kid who wanted to convince me it was actually an undercover social retard class and the reason he was rejected was not because of his violent school history but because his violent school history shows he is alpha as fuck and not autistic.

So if you ask him, it was the retard class, but it was still of my own free will.

There was never any reason for anyone to try doing good in school. Most of the grades you get won't even matter, it's nearly impossible to fail as long as your attendance is high enough, and even when you get to the point where grades actually matter, you'll need to have some specific ambition that requires high grades if you want to motivate yourself to change your study habits. Where I came from, you were considered a nerd if you studied too much, so no getting encouraged by your peers to work hard, and even if your parents set up some awesome reward system, if you were a smart kid, you would realize that what you were getting wouldn't really be worth the workload you had to put into it.

>> No.7637797

I was never put in a class for people like that, OP. English has always been one of my favorite subjects. I was supposed to compete in my school's spelling bee. My teacher would act very surprised every time I spelled a word correctly and when I won I had no idea how to react so I just kind of stood looking downward with this dumb smile on my face. I felt very akward and out of place. I was always the lazy kid in the back of the class. No one bothered me; infact I'm sure very people even aknowledged my existance. When I got home that day I told no one at home what had happened and when the day of the spelling bee came I simply didn't go. I surely would have had some kind of breakdown if I had won and all those people were to look at me. Even today I really dislike when people look at me.

I was, however, forced to attend an extra hour of school everyday due to my lack of homework. A normal day had seven classes about an hour long each, so this extra class was called eigth hour. It was basically detention. You were supposed to sit there silently and do homework work until the hour passed, at which point you were free to go home. If you distrupted the silence you were obliged to attend the next day. It was so unfair because there was a teacher named Ms. Lee who had a very thick Asian accent who happened to be one of the English teachers. As she struggled to read the names on the student's slips I would always laugh. I couldn't help it. Sometimes she would switch rooms with another teacher and you could still hear her struggling with her pronunciation through the walls of the now-silent school after the majority of its students had left.

What are you a shounen protag? Your story of that girl reminds me about all the memories of my older sister.

A lot of times that it seems like a kid is being abused its usually pretty bad. Most of people who are abused hide it pretty well so if its noticable then you should probably tell someone about it.

2. The fun career you had planned out doesn't really offer anything of value to the job market, or the job market for it is oversaturated, making it very competitive and low paying, because everyone wants fun jobs.
