Today, my dad made me quit my online school classes and go back to public school, because apparently when I'm on the computer, it makes his video games lag. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I asked my dad to pick me up from school, he said he couldn't. Why? he was busy playing world of warcraft for the night. I got to walk the 3 hours home while my 49 year old dad played computer games. FML
Today, my father told me I was becoming violent because of the video games I play. I was playing Minecraft. FML
Today, my dad grounded me for two weeks for profusely swearing at my misbehaving laptop. After some arguing, he actually accepted my half-joking offer to play a game of CoD over it. His condition was that if I lost, my grounding period would double. We played. He kicked my ass. FML
Today, my dad made a big show of sending me to my room and grounding me for a week. Not because he heard me cursing at my video game, but because I "swear like a little girl" and it embarrassed him in front of his friends. FML
Today, I found out my dad got Covid after spending the weekend at home. All my classes have me doing final projects, and my dorm's internet is a dumpster fire. FML
Today, my parents got a call from my principal. I'd been lying that I couldn’t see the work I had to do in my online class, because I was behind and I needed to catch up. Tomorrow my parents are getting a call, telling them the dates I've been logged into the online learning. I haven’t logged in in weeks. FML
Today, my parents moved my senile grandpa in with us, but he keeps yelling at me for gaming and sometimes just switches my computer off. This is my house, not theirs. I work remotely, I’m not gaming, and their unemployed asses can’t even watch him closely enough to keep him out of my home office. FML
Today, I finally realized the reason my son's grades have been dropping so much. Every time I drop him off at his tutor's house, they play Call of Duty until I pick him up. FML
Today, I sold all of my son's games and gadgets because he got a horrible report card. It turned out that the school made some sort of a mistake and it wasn't his actual report card. He actually got great grades. I tried to apologize but he told me to fuck off. FML
Today, my 12-year-old son played QWOP on my laptop. Half an hour later, he virtually destroyed it in a fit of rage. FML

Get better internet. If he can afford to buy video games than he can supply it with the proper amount of megs. I feel his pain and yours, but he should have saw it coming when agreeing to let you do online classes.

Who gives a crap if he can afford this and that. The guy works sheesh give him a break we don't know what type of work he has to deal with what crap he gets everyday, I say the kid gets himself a small part time job pay help for faster internet or get his own :/ teaches responsibility as well he'll learn to pay a bill.

Pssh, I have a gaming household and I know that most the time the speed of Internet and whatnot is highly important so you consider everything (as I consider the use of laptops) and I get the right amount running so everyone can comfortably connect to the wifi. If he agreed to let his kid use it for school he should have known there would be a conflict in having more than one device connected to their shitty Internet. Thank you and goodnight.

Oh, as far as the kid getting a job? Can't a kid focus on school without worrying about paying for Internet to do school? Why should parents push their responsibility off on their kids? and saying it builds character or whatever is bull.

public school keeps you from being a loner.

#80 I went to public school and was still a bit of a loner.

Good. Online only schools have a piss poor reputation in the real world. They are widely viewed as not being real.

#85 I think OP means online homeschooling for high school rather than an online university.
OfficeNinja 5
Even worse. You get a high school "diploma" that no real university will accept. Plus, I consider myself to be reasonably smart - but I would not homeschool my kid. My math is OK but not great. I forgot why "the great gatsby" is a classic. If my kid got interested in say chemistry I would quickly be lost. In a real school your math teacher has a math degree, your literature teacher has a home full of books and a degree in literature, your science teacher is a geek, and so on.
