Dont be afraid to ask for help
They don’t need to work while they are not employed and there educators should be the ones counselling them during school hours. The police are supposed to council them when school hours do not exist because it is not operational (unless alternate events are booked).
Students already get deprived financially for illegitimate reasons because the school system should be catering to there development in order to have the most sustainable economy that is achievable even when robots do not exist. It is embarrassing to be a human born in this planet where humans learn about a sustainable economy during “robotic” development.
That’s slavery I am not paid to be an educator either
As legal guardians people pick and choose what they want to teach there children they will tell there child not to burn there hand on the stove Etc. Those children grow up and go to school neglected and continuing to be abused. They end up in post-secondary education and receive illegitimate licenses from the government that allow them to torture even more people because the government is not formally prepared to do there job even when people are paid every single day to adhere to those responsibilities.
People have periodic table syndrome as form of dissociative identity disorder Lol
Appreciate you Mya !!!
