And don't even get me started on the way they teach core classes, and what the mandatory things are. English 10 is learning things I've known since middle school, but since it's mandatory by the state I can't opt out.
Can you test out?
No, they won't let me, even though I have an IEP so I can have some sway in my schooling.

Yeah, the only thing I liked about my sophomore English class was we did was that my teacher was obsessed with the ACT and we did ACT prep for a whole quarter but I didn't get to take it last year and now I've forgotten all of it
Bruh I thought you were 15
Yeah, all we've done so far is discuss characterization, read Night and talk about that, and do tiny book clubs. One group did The 57 Bus and I've never been as close to throwing a chair at someone as I was listening to a bunch of straight and cis white rich kids misgender and mock the protagonist while the teachers did jack shit. And this is at a public school with 3 teachers in the room.

Close. 16. I'll be seventeen in March.

I thought you were like 21??
Starts doubting how old I thought everyone was
I also hate Scantron tests. Blegh.
My English teacher also refused to use Gradecam, which is what the school wants everyone to use, so they stopped buying them for the teachers. She got hers on Amazon and they were a different shade of green and a weird texture and I hated them
i did so bad on every test
I also hate Scantron tests. Blegh.

Yeah.
My Honors English final last year was so long that half the class needed to stay past the 2 hours or whatever that they give you. I'm a super fast test taker and I barely finished in time, mainly bc most of it was Scantron but like…the full 100 questions of Scantron.
Also block scheduling just straight-up doesn't work for some classes, such as Spanish and, imo, chemistry.
I knew you were 17 but it’s still a shock every time I hear it
Is that because you know I drink???
Honestly I may as well be 21 at this point.
Raised and cared for 3 children, probably earning more money than my actual mother…
Just out of curiosity, do you guys know how old I am? Like do I seem like my age to you?
Oof I'm just over here in Jr. High with only one class that counts and not knowing the struggles of highschool
We’re discussing age I see. I’ll be 14 in March. March 21 to be exact.

No, you just give off an older vibe than 17. Also because of how close you are with Eris, I figured you were closer to her in age.

You're turning 18, right? You seem your age (in a good way)
I knew you were 17 but only because you told me and somehow I remembered
I gotta ask. What’s it like being around little thirteen year olds (like moi). Do I SEEM 13? Younger? Older? Honestly I’m very curious about what y’all think about moi.

I've just had a very busy life, even at (almost) 18, I've experienced more of life than other people my age.
At 9 I was feeding a newborn baby, doing the dishes, washing laundry, making proper meals..

Most of the time, you don't really seem 13. Like, you're helpful and generally not-annoying and I don't have to just tolerate you. I like you most of the time (when I don't hate everyone). Although you do sometimes say something and I remember that you aren't my age. Which isn't necessarily always a bad thing
But most of the people I talk to are younger than me

Well, I just turned 14 and I honestly thought you were older than me so only a little weird.

Understandable. People usually think I'm older than I actually am, mainly because I talk and act like a fucking John Green teenager.
