  • As a tutor I run into the consequences of this all the time. Teachers throw details at students and are either shit at explaining why things work or don’t see how it is relevant to teaching the information then I end up breaking concepts apart and showing why things work because its the only way for students to actually understand things rather than just learn what buttons on the calculator to press.







  • Now I kind of want to look at mine again. Mostly their main complaint was that I didn’t do my homework. I did well enough on tests to mostly compensate for that. My grades suffered but this wasn’t really seen as a big enough problem (read: I am inattentive not outwardly hyperactive) to do anything about. It was only in my final semester of undergrad that I was diagnosed after college broke me. “Congrats you now have accomodations! Shame your degree is basically already completed anyway.”
