>in The Sims, if a child sim does poorly in school for long enough, he or she will go to military school FOREVER with no chance of redemption
This always spooked me as a kid, especially since the parent basically forgets the child exists.
my parents were so fucking autistic and had no idea how to raise kids and almost did this to my brother
>learning disabilities his whole
>clearly behind socially as well
>some for of dyslexia couldn't spell for shit
Sent him to like 2 psychiatrists and then just gave up and started looking for boarding schools. Like a 10 year old kid can just un-autist himself

Sounds like my parents. They were in denial.

I don't like it when people complain about how everything you're taught in high school is useless but I can't help but feel like we're misallocating resources by teaching trigonometry and not basic psychology. They should really try to shove at least a crash course into the sex education / drugs classes.

>We need sex ed and DARE because Stacey McFuckwit can't take a night off from partying to speak with her child about the personal responsibility she knows nothing about
Really activates the neural network

Unfortunately, yes. We need programs like these because people are stupid and lazy. It's not fair to the kids of stupid people to just let them suffer.

I will NEVER EVER need to find the root of a triangle or what the fuck ever, they should be teaching taxes/how to move out/social skills etc.

It's a very 1950s thing to do. Reality is military school needs good grades and very good school performance to enter.

Yeah, what that other anon said. The reason we have public schools is so that all newly born children will have equal opportunities to succeed in life. Without it, the general society will be fucking retarded.

If that were true then schools wouldn't be zoned.

Should've gone with the "loner" trait.
