Tuuutuuuu do you want me to bore you with my geography finals, you want thaaaaat donât youuuu
When I was like 11 years old I went to a private STEM school. In 6th grade. It was an hour away (I swapped back to public school halfway through the year because of it) and crucially it was very very very liberal. Like. This is Massachusetts, first of all, extremely liberal, itâs in a city, liberal, itâs a STEM-focused school, genuinely there was one guy there who had conservative parents and NOBODY else
And this is in 2016. So there is the 2016 election, and weâre all just old enough to like, Get It, to understand whatâs going on and to follow the news with our parents
Horrifying
And you all know what the outcome of the 2016 election was. And it was genuinely the most collectively depressed day ever. The teachers were all reassuring us like itâs okay itâs four years itâs not gonna be the end of the world but even they didnât really believe it
most of what i remember was:
math
bulgarian and literature
english
russian
biology
physics
chemistry
history
geography
IT
music
drawing
PE
swapped between Psychology and Philosophy
not all at once some fell off in certain years
But the funny story. The funniest thing. A kid brought in banana bread. He and his parents had made it the night before. As celebratory banana bread. For when Hillary won
Your schools literally cared that much about politics?
They werenât supposed to talk about politics but it was like such a Really Big Deal that they did that day in conversation with students. Like they didnât come up during classes and say it in the lessons or anythin gbut
yesssss
And so they just kind of, awkwardly brought in banana bread. Like. Uh. This was, supposed to be to celebrate, so I guess now itâs, condolences banana bread
Does blue party or red party even do anything remotely tangible for the country
