First of all, I am not sure what you are talking about in regards to my user name.
Second of all, parents living paycheck to paycheck are not buying their kids a new phone and a new door every time their child has a hard day at school and decides to blow off steam by smashing up the house.
Working class kids should learn not to throw destructive tantrums as toddlers, when they rip the head off a toy and their parent glues it back together, crooked, instead of buying them a new one.
And “test especially well” is code for “on the spectrum” before that was a thing. We were counted as abnormal at best, and subhuman in general, but told to our gullible little faces that we were “special”, “gifted”, “talented”, young geniuses-to-be “with so much potential” …Let’s not propagate the bullshit, hmm?

TAG means “Talented And Gifted” it’s a program at school for kids who test especially well

I was one of those kids too, I always suspected neurodivergence but I’m in my 30s now so I’m just ignoring it 😎
