It's fascinating to see the reactions of people, but I'm just stating what I think.

I'm neurodivergent and was bullied for most of the time I went to school. If I was not being bullied, I either found it too interesting, or very boring. Plus, being unpopular, I was always picked last in gym class, so at some point I started not going to those classes, and eventually dropped out of school entirely. I really felt like it was a prison where parents dump their kids while they are busy earning slave wages. And from what I hear from my nephew and friends working in schools, I'm just glad I don't have a child that also has to deal with this.

The whole concept of schools with classes of ~30ish kids with an overworked teacher trying to follow a standardized program that will not work for all kids, is... depressing.

Didn't know your story, I assumed you were just acting immature and I found it amusing to answer back with a juvenile quip. If I made you feel attacked for not understanding social clues because of your neurodivergence or something like that, I am sorry.
