#4: Your Permanent Record
All school kids live in fear of the dreaded “permanent record” that every school, principal, and teacher has access to. Your permanent record can make or break your academic career. All the adults in your life jot down every little thing about you in your permanent record, so you better be on your best behavior.
Just kidding! As an adult, you probably realized that the “permanent record” narrative was just a myth. Sure, schools and teachers keep records of your grades and personal information, but it’s not as comprehensive as many kids are led to believe. Honestly, this permanent record myth was most likely born out of frustrated and frazzled teachers trying their best to keep their classrooms under control.
