I mean with things like, they constantly accept late work for full credit, let them make up stuff they didn't turn in, retake tests they did poorly on. It's like they are teaching you guys that there are no consequences for not being on time....if I didn't turn something in it was a 0.
I didn't really mean in the social regard.
Our schools don't really do that but I understand the reasoning. (They get reduced credit etc...)
They're there to learn, if a mistake happens and they're not doing the work on time, (or CAN'T- which is often the case) they'll just say "fuck it" and not do it at all. It's better they do it, then not learn something b/c children have a reward-pushed brain. Retaking tests helps them learn what they missed the first time.
Not everyone absorbs things the same, or as quickly. This blanket-treatment in the education system where you're expected to do things and are punished b/c your brain doesn't work like that is bullshit imo.
I had a lot of friends who needed extra time to learn, that ended up just doing poorly in school and failing when just a little extra time was all they needed.
The world doesn't end if adults are "late" in doing most things, and the things that DO matter- those brain-types aren't in charge of. The child-world should be just as accepting to brain/personality types, they don't suddenly appear when you graduate or turn 18.
