Re:Nobody Knows How Well Homework Works on Thursday July 07, 2022 @04:32AM (#32011325)
But that would mainly benefit kids from educated backgrounds, while kids who graduate late because of their life circumstances, might end up simply not finishing school or start their professional life in debt.

After reading some of the school- and homework-critic posts here and thinking I‘d agree with them I realize that school helps the overall population, especially less educated people who simply wouldn‘t invest more their time and energy in education otherwise while the highly curious and intelligent people are rather limited by it.

Gnome Notes has similar behavior: Whenever you use Ctrl + BS, the note you are currently writing it gets put into the trash, even though you just wanted to delete a word quickly. You can recover the note so it's not the worst possible behavior, but it still sucks.
