He's not struggling. He just genuinely has no interest in school/academics. He's only going cause it's legally required. He'll probably discover his passion/skills later on in life and excel there
Yeah he's not interested and I think part of that is because he doesn't understand what's being "taught." If you try hard to do something (which he genuinely does his best in this chapter) and still can't understand it then that's called struggling. He did get his grades up, but that's not a reflection of his understanding but his ability to memorize. I'm not saying this makes him any less valuable as a person, I'm just saying that the system doesn't care about him and that's what's sad. We are brought up in a system to uphold the system, but when we can't live up to these superficial expectations then the system has no problem throwing us away/abandoning us. It's a critique of the structure, not of Kirara
And that's a valid critique.. but I'm saying specifically of Kirara that it's a non-issue. There are just kids that have absolutely zero interest in academics. It's still fundamental that they get a foundation in education so they're not pushed entirely out of society but I don't think it's a failure of his teachers (in Kirara's case).
Ok tho high key concerned for the future of humanity tho when kids who r struggling just rnt given any help? It's the teacher in me i feel like kirara's dad is gonna have either marshmallow vibes or be super macho
