"youre not supposed to know that yet" then why in fucks name did you ask lady?
Never stop fighting their lies
So every four weeks or so, maths teacher would give us a test at upper primary level. This was at pre-computer times. One of the questions was always "how long is this line" with a pen-drawn line underneath. Except, the pen he used always left a blot at the end of the line and sometimes there was a little flick from where he lifted his pen up.
Simple I thought, the line is 10.2cm - 10-3cm! Easy! But, it was always marked wrong. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. Correct answer: 10cm. It wasn't like to be rounded to the nearest cm or anything, just "how long is this line". The ink blot counted. It counted!
I'm still bitter.

Failed a high school required class because I have poor writing abilities.
Literally got a 0 on a midterm because the teacher "couldn't read my writing"
Crap like the green text and my high school experience is why parents need to be involved in a child's education.
Either that or all this is fake and gay.

Wisdom is knowing when to say "fuck it" to save yourself the pain.
Why are you going to be learning negative numbers while you are 8? Edit: Reading the comments I see that your schools are pretty shit compared to my public school was way better (even when the building was on the verge of collapsing for like the whole time I was there)
The time I told the story about how I had mud pies for my 5th birthday and said they used Oreo crumbs to make it look more realistic …. I was stood in front of the entire kindergarten and made to say the word and what it meant.
Idk why I don’t like attention 40 years later
