Okay I know this is c/greentext and its not a serious comm, still just wanna infodump lol:

So... in 1st grade I was in China...

I remember them doing National Anthem... very similar to the US lol (as in the ritual, not the melody lol)

They use rulers to hit kids lol... 😭

I lucked out because my family emigrated...

Forgot if I ever got hit by a teacher... if I did, I must've deleted that memory since it sounds kinda traumatizing...

And they made us RECITE AN ENTIRE STORY! (Children's story, but still) They made us stay afterschool for that 😭

I STILL REMEMBER the 9x9 times table "poem" thingy from first grade, it's forever burned into my head (okay this might be 2nd grade tbf, forgot when I learned it exactly)

Article I found: https://yoyochinese.com/blog/Learn-Chinese-Multiplication-Rhyme-Time-Tables)

Oh yes I can sing the Chinese national anthem¹ + the American one too...

they played it too much the melody is forever stored in my hippocampus

(¹Okay I might have looked up the exact lyrics later on as a teen...)

And if I sing both, I get both sides to hate me... xD

I feel like that kindergarden, 1st, 2nd grade... just those few years of school there makes me very distinct from ABCs (American-Born Chinese).

I love deathbybigsad's childhood china stories. It's like finding gems on Lemmy

Also I had a distant relative in the past who was killed by their teacher using a metal rule. Probably wasn't deliberate.

Was it a meth probability class?

Oh...oops...uh...typo?

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Ah yes, their teacher Walter White.

Why a mathematics probability class? "What's the probability of you dying if I strike you with this"

[–] Chakravanti@monero.town 1 points 11 hours ago

Well that depends on...or...well...I guess we already thatsaid.
