So now you're just pretending you weren't wrong at all.
You have skipping grades as a concept and practice with rules and laws.
We don't.
In the nicest way possible, I think you might have brain damage.
I do understand. Again, I'm very well versed in what it's like in America. You're still pretending as if most of your experiences aren't relayed by types of media. And that I somehow don't have access to this arcane knowledge about the US.
You could just as well be arguing that I just don't speak English because it's not the language I first learned. I haven't lived in an English speaking country or ever even been in one for weeks, let alone years. Yet I'm completely fluent. Hell, the last time I checked, some 10-15 years ago, I had a larger vocabulary than 52% of native speakers.
Yet you childishly keep insisting there's something I don't understand.
"No no, you don't get it. America has expensive drugs, you haven't ever heard of how much we spend on drugs."
"We have homeless people!"
Yes, you also have a military-industrial complex, you're fucking over your veterans, your cops are murderers, there's still tons of institutional racism, sexism, ableism, your leader is an ever-lying failure of a businessman who's going senile and is owned by Putler, two thirds of your population are obese, literacy is like 79%, you have the largest prison population in the world despite not being even close to having the most people, roughly 1% of your adult population is in prison, which too often are for-profit prisons which are the only way America is clinging to any sort of cheap labour blabalablablabla blabla bla i could go on for days. What exactly don't I understand? Your lack of empathy?
Honestly, depending on how old you are, I've could have been exposed to American news more than you, despite living in another country. That is if you're like in your early twenties.
Do you remember where you were during 9/11? You never answered.
It's you who keeps having no idea, despite constantly been proved wrong.
What is "whole grade acceleration" and why do you pretend the US doesn't have it?
