Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

People see kids can be smart because of the end result, but they often dont understand the struggle or effort they have to put in to achieve that. Especially when kids are put into competition against each other in school and they get praised for doing well and chastised for doing poorly on metrics that they fundamently will have problems with (e.g kids woth adhd, autism, etc) or dont make sense. They push kids until their breaking point and then act like its the kids fault for collapsing at the finish line and getting burnt out.

What many people also dont get is that often teaching practices that work well for people with conditions like adhd, autism, dyslexia, etc are also better for students without them. Same for work practices. Its odd to me that we go out of our way to punish everyone for no reason.
