@raccoonformality@mastodon.gamedev.place @Saintajax33 yeah I feel like I got a lot of experiences with people that benefited me and exposure to ideas and education that worked at times. There were flaws and certainly plenty of awful people but I do feel I benefited from learning how to deal with that nonsense. Certainly read a bunch of books I wouldnt have read. It helped that I had a lot of external support with my family
@raccoonformality@mastodon.gamedev.place @Saintajax33 that said yeah school does often get treated as more of a holding pen for kids while parents work at times and you do get a bunch of awful and mediocre people with too much power
@Saintajax33 honestly, several of the teachers I had in school gave me the tools I needed to deal with my ADHD and Dyslexia which were tools that had to come from specialists so thats been a life long benefit
