People are finally starting to realize how fucked up that card system in elementary school was. It was literally a form of public shame. You’d be publicly humiliated, forced to go up and change your card in front of everyone while they watched, and it be displayed the entire day for everyone to see and judge. A lot of them even had the same name as this one: “How am I doing today?”. It genuinely traumatized a lot of people. The comments of this tweet made me realize how much it fucked up people of my generation when they were kids. Almost every person in the replies is talking about how whenever they had to change their card they’d have panic attacks, burst into tears, and genuinely be afraid. Also, people are telling stories about certain reasons they had to pull a card and the majority of them were extremely fucked up and clearly an abuse of power by the teachers. I really hope schools are no longer doing this.
