Interesting article. I will read the study tomorrow. Wonder if the 4 months advantage are per year or for all years together.

I didn't need a study to confirm this. A few experiences:

• In third grade, when I got bored with multiplication and finished the problem set, I moved up to division on my own, and the fat kikess teacher yelled at me for going ahead. In the meantime, a bunch of Tyronelets got validation for every shit they wrote down, even if the answer was wrong.
• I have been accused of cheating several times.
• Many times in elementary school, when asked to read out my answers, classmates would make fun of my mannerisms and monotone voice, which made me fearful of public speaking forever. This sucks because normie education stresses participation.
• My sixth grade teacher (a humpbacked crone who is more than likely dead now) would go out of her way to humiliate me in front of the class. Even the violent class truant would be treated more nicely.
• College - My professor pulled me aside and chided me on my lab report, saying that I use too many big words. In the meantime, one Stacy would text during lecture, in full view of the professor, and still earned one letter grade higher than me
