in fifth grade they had a stress coach come in and give us tips on managing stress in middle school. and one of them was sticking your hand out at a teacher and telling them “I need you to stop. You're stressing me out. Let's count to ten together.”
I would not be standing (sitting) here today if I did that good lord. so aggressively low context but also it kinda serves
i request that you all gloss over the fact that the american educational system would sooner hire a stress coach for 11 year olds before they let go of their beloved standardized testing
