Maybe Anon meant 11st grade?
You think OP can count that high? That’s a pretty big number
Yeah okay you tell Mike Tyson he made that mistake. I’ll see you on the other side, cause that man can still punch your brain right out of your head.
who remembers what happened back in 1th grade?
Okay I know this is c/greentext and its not a serious comm, still just wanna infodump lol:
So… in 1st grade I was in China…
I remember them doing National Anthem… very similar to the US lol (as in the ritual, not the melody lol)
They use rulers to hit kids lol… 😭
I lucked out because my family emigrated…
Forgot if I ever got hit by a teacher… if I did, I must’ve deleted that memory since it sounds kinda traumatizing…
And they made us RECITE AN ENTIRE STORY! (Children’s story, but still) They made us stay afterschool for that 😭
I STILL REMEMBER the 9x9 times table “poem” thingy from first grade, it’s forever burned into my head (okay this might be 2nd grade tbf, forgot when I learned it exactly)
Article I found: https://yoyochinese.com/blog/Learn-Chinese-Multiplication-Rhyme-Time-Tables)
Oh yes I can sing the Chinese national anthem¹ + the American one too…
they played it too much the melody is forever stored in my hippocampus
(¹Okay I might have looked up the exact lyrics later on as a teen…)
And if I sing both, I get both sides to hate me… xD
I feel like that kindergarden, 1st, 2nd grade… just those few years of school there makes me very distinct from ABCs (American-Born Chinese).
I love deathbybigsad’s childhood china stories. It’s like finding gems on Lemmy
Also I had a distant relative in the past who was killed by their teacher using a metal rule. Probably wasn’t deliberate.
OP is only in 3rd grade now. The trauma is so fresh and real.
So anon’s name was Banana?
Too bad it wasn’t Banana-Cherries, that picture have been straight to jail.
