I'm just intrigued that the second poster in the thread appears to have been deleted so comprehensively that there's nothing left of them, not even a user-name.
i had a 4.0 all through school and college and would trash myself for weeks if i got a B on a test or assignment
therapy's like cheating though, i just do the old fashioned hating myself like god intended
Well was it all worth it in the end?

Girl hyperventilated at work today
I work as a teacher at a small private school. I was teaching a 4th grade biology course, when I heard a bunch of yelling from down the hallway. I figured that it was just some elementary school kids, but when the yelling persisted, I had to peek my head out. I see a few paramedics carrying out...forums.anandtech.com
interesting. they must've nuked this guy from orbit.
But she can probably afford that therapy/has a job with insurance because her parents made her care about school .So today that girl that hyperventilated because of the fear of her parents reactions to a "C" on a test 17 years ago, is now in her mid 20s, and probably goes to therapy once a week.
So mental abuse of children is OK, as long as the abuse causes them to study?But she can probably afford that therapy/has a job with insurance because her parents made her care about school .
eh, debatable
i got free college from my HS 4.0 plus very high SAT/ACT scores, and free grad school from my undergrad 4.0
neither of the couple buddies i worked with most in my undergrad classes put in as much effort as me, but both were doing just as well as me after we all got jobs
one of them got hit by a drunk driver and died when he was 29
the other went full apocolypse prepper, put almost all of his money in bitcoin around 2012, sold out later and was worth 8 figures by his early 30s
i guess i'm doing middle of the pack, comparatively

There is a pretty long scale from just teaching your kids school is important and mental abuse. It's also abuse to let your kid sit there and rot in from of a TV failing through school and getting fat.So mental abuse of children is OK, as long as the abuse causes them to study?

Nothing wrong with that, however to have such a reaction based on your fear of how your parents would react is child abuse.I was definitely not mentally abused about school but I still got upset at some grades.
Don't play that card, when you also don't have a fucking clue what that girl's home life was like. However, it is clear she feared her parents over just being 'average'.You have absolutely zero idea what to this girl's home life was. But yes, I think it's reasonable to push your kids to be good in school so they can have more fullfilling lives. Of course, there are limits to methods and how far.
But that was "you", not fear of people that are supposed to love and nurture you.i had a 4.0 all through school and college and would trash myself for weeks if i got a B on a test or assignment

Having education shoved up a child's ass is less likely to create adults who bitch about "Jews dominating the world" because of a conspiracy instead of culture and work towards entering the education pathway.But that was "you", not fear of people that are supposed to love and nurture you.
Gee... that sounds just like teachings of religion, stumble one time and spend eternity burning in hell.
First this is at least a third hand story. Second, I'll admit neither of us have any idea what this girl's situation was. She might have been upset that she was going to have to keep going to tutoring. She might have been upset that she was getting a belt. Neither of us have a clue. The most anxious kid I know has the most supportive dad I know (but a POS mom, who couldn't care less about schooling).Nothing wrong with that, however to have such a reaction based on your fear of how your parents would react is child abuse.
Wreck dad's car because you were speeding or showing off, then is the time to worry about a parents' reaction. Getting a "C" on a single test... that's not a health environment.

You are right, antisemitism is learned in the home, along with Islamophobia, misogyny, homophobia, bigotry, racism, and intolerance for anyone who is even slightly different.Having education shoved up a child's ass is less likely to create adults who bitch about "Jews dominating the world" because of a conspiracy instead of culture and work towards entering the education pathway.
It isn't always learned from home. It is pretty easy to build up in ignorant people who live in fear.You are right, antisemitism is learned in the home, along with Islamophobia, misogyny, homophobia, bigotry, racism, and intolerance for anyone who is even slightly different.
Of course, understand of science and learning critical thinking skills are the first casualty.
