    Sounds like a little overachiever who is pretty mature for his age, up against a Karen principal who is annoyed by the kid instead of encouraging him.

      Yes. This is heartbreaking.

      Timothy says that because of his father, he wants to be an oncologist when he grows up, although his mom laughs about how everyone else thinks her son should be a lawyer since he likes to argue so much. His father taught him how to speak up and advocate for himself.

      Even worse than that really. She’s a principal who should’ve been fired, but instead they swapped her and the counselor from her school with the one in this one. Yes, drag the overperforming school down instead of outright replacing the staff of the underperforming one. brilliant move.

      He asked her on day one where the old counselor was and she took that as an insult (because she knows she’s shit) instead of a genuine question like an 11yo would have because what fuckin 11yo, no matter how gifted, is tracking the staff moves of their school district?!
