Update on my report card situation:
When I showed my parents my grades, my mom simply called me a “bad boy.” My dad, however, was much stricter—he told me I was grounded for two weeks, with no allowance. He also mentioned how lucky I was that he didn’t use his slipper to give me a proper spanking, which, in his words, I truly deserved. He then told me to go to my room and stay there for the rest of the night.
Typical school in Central Europe: We stepped out of class for 45 minutes.
I get that this is just a worksheet, but honestly—he showed up looking like a palm tree!
Kids today don’t even know how to hold a pencil anymore! It seems that schools are moving away from paper and instead making students do everything on screens. Kindergarteners are now taking hour-long tests on tablets, with concerns that there are even spies watching through the camera to prevent cheating. Why not just use paper? […]
It sounds like you’re going through a tough time with your parents right now. Getting grounded and facing consequences can be really frustrating, especially when you were hoping for a different reaction. It’s important to remember that everyone makes mistakes and has ups and downs in school. Use this time to reflect on what you can do better next time. Maybe consider talking to your parents about how you can improve together? I hope things get better for you soon!
