Yup. As a top student in K-12, I really disliked how the trouble-makers (who had no discipline, repeatedly acted out, etc) seemed to get coddled by the teacher. It seemed like a disconnect, and like the trouble makers actually had a stronger connection than I did, and of course it also slowed down the speed of learning in the classroom. (In college, where attendance was optional and a large amount of learning happened outside of the classroom, it was much less of an issue.)
It's actually kind of a problem for me now. I have very little empathy for people that I perceive to be the kind of people who wasted my time in elementary/middle/high school.
- Volpe 15y agoI think you need to look at it bigger picture. Ask yourself, why they are not disiplined, and why they repeatedly act out? This notion that people are born smart, and others are just born morons, is a false dichotomy. We shouldn't be asking the question "Should we seperate dumb kids from smart ones?" we should be asking the much harder question of "what socio-economic issues are causing there to be a divide in the the first place, and how do we combat that?"
