Nope.

I remember practicing cursive (hated it), some of the teachers and kids and lunch brought to the classrooms and that’s it.

I am not low information by any means but virtually all my learning has been independently acquired, even now. School from kindergarten through graduate school was a colossal waste of time and I don’t recommend it.

I know. It was a waste of 18 years for me, too, except for a good typing class and a great 12th grade English teacher. In elementary school they diagnosed me as “gifted,” so I was sent to another room where we played computer games. That eventually led to me getting a job after college. So at least there’s one bright spot.

This is the reason my three kids homeschool. We try not to waste their time.

We certainly did learn about the Code of Hammurabi. ;-) We love history here.
