Most of K-12 was miserable for me. I was never interested in what I was being taught, I never liked any of the other kids—I thought they were unimaginative, maladroit, and dull. It was 9th grade when I first took notice of the maximum security lockdown, complete with armed police monitoring the perimeter of the school, when standardized testing (aka how school districtsnin Texas earn money) was taking place. I then made the connection with all the time we had spent memorizing the answers to the standardized test questions rather than actually learning anything. It was disturbing, and my view of the education system was jaded.
I dropped out of my senior year to play full time in a band, now I'm a data entry clerk. Life happens.
I just cut myself on your edge.
