Online Learning - Tumblr Posts
2/100 days of learning programming
I completed today's taks successfuly.
Still listing to some introductions and basics but according to a plan.
One of the most things i loved today was the sdk
I think I might continue in the web development way as a backend developer
And the most 3 language I want to master are Javascript / html and Payton ❤️
OH NOOOO BC OF THE SNOW IM HAVING ONLINE LESSONS AGAIN 😭 😭 😭 I REMEMBER 2020
When your Latin teacher has a huge man crush on Julius Caesar...
Reading this reminded me a certain John Mulaney segment.
I was doing my homework and unknowingly had "The Masochism Tango" playing on loop for like 20 minutes. And I didn't even care, I was just straight vibing.
It is a great song though.
anybody else single space their papers until the very end and then double space it to feel good about yourself?
The worst subjects always have the best teachers and it makes it so hard to hate the subject when the teacher is so fricking lovable
doing assignments to pass, but not to learn.

this might age me a bit, but i don't care. I hate schooling, I hate the whole way later high school is conveyed. the third and fourth year of high school should rely less on the parents checking in or really knowing how good a kid is doing in school. By the third year of high school a kid is 16/17. They will be old enough to move out, drive a car. but they aren't old enough to be in charge of their own schoolwork.
That isn't my only gripe with the school system, Edgenuity (an online schooling system), is making their p[programs have unskippable videos to "instruct students on their work". When a student is behind in this case, it becomes IMPOSSIBLE to catch up. I was someone who in their second year became so behind that some classes said ELEVEN HOURS per class. And I had eight classes that year. Six on the low side. I hope in the future of online learning kids will be able to skip videos if they know what they are doing. It is insane to make someone who is dreadfully behind to watch three hours worth of videos a day in order to catch up after being sick, busy, and burned out. TL:DR "I hate everything about the current schooling system. Also screw online schools they suck too"
I swear edgenuity is a site made by satan himself to get his rocks off. I can't keep repeating the same project because your instructions are physically impossible to complete within a reasonable time frame. I'd honestly rather spend a day with my homophobic mom then do the same psychology project 8 times while i'm 17 hours behind
