Those smartest kids can go test out of everything with AP, take SAT courses privately or for free. Those kids who need more helo have no fucking other chance. Experiences like these tilt them away from education entirely.

so neutral that they had people arguing how to write articles from a non-human POV.

Academics have since acknowledged the impossibility of achieving this fantasy "unbiased" perspective.

give you a good lesson on what people think are fact and opinion.

This has been such an incredible change to Wikipedia's work, allowing dedicated spaces to talking about rhetoric and talking points for readers to learn.

facts regardless of what current political discourse says is right

Yeah, more or less. We are always free to check the sources, which is also a part of what Wikipedia nerds debate - what is the best resource to link to for those who need more info?

Wow are you saying Wikipedia is biased and corrup because they didn't inaccurately call the U.S. a one-party Authoritarian state?

The "Democracy in China" page explicitly states at the top that i's going to be an overview of political concepts and that there is on-going debate.

Homelessness in Russia does have a section on Soviet Union, talking about "Densification" following the October Revolution ie. Forced re-housing into small state owned flats.

Criticism of the US is indeed found directly in the same paragraph about how our government works:

It has higher levels of incarceration and inequality than most other liberal democracies, and is the only liberal democracy without universal healthcare

Open your eyes, Wikipedia is showing how it can be an incredibly dense and informative resource.

At my school so many high achievers would use summer school to get ahead that they had to shut it down. Those nerds were causing the actually remediate kids to feel ashamed and othered, so they would all drop out after a week or two. Year after year. I'm salty about it.

I prefer a doctor-guided transmission. I'm not smart enough to balance these meds and read my bloodwork.
