Adults responsible for your care actively helped facilitate your early learning. (Reading at bedtime, playing educational games, going to child-friendly museums...)
our mom read to us (brother & me) there were no museums, child-friendly, or otherwise, near us. mom probably taught us basic math too, but i was young & that was a long time ago.
You had a library card.
yes. only because a children's library card was free if you lived in the school district the library was located in. otherwise we would not have had one.
Adults in your life involved you in tasks that involved mathematics skills.
our mom did with buying stuff.
"you want that toy? well it's $10 & i only have $5. 5 is less than 10, how much more do we need to get it?"
If you started falling behind in school, you received help from a private tutor.
tutors cost money that we didn't have.
You went to a well-funded school.
i guess.
You typically attended school adequately clothed and fed.
yes.
Adults responsible for your care were able to help you make decisions when it came time to pursue higher education.
we didn't have money for higher education. i didn't take the SATs, or any kind of test like that (cost money) & i hated schoolwork.
If you were disabled and/or neurodivergent, you were classified by your school and received support through the education system.
not sure if i was/am neurodivergent. maybe be a bit of dyslexia, dyscalculia & dysgraphia. (i write/type fro instead of for, say 1985 instead of 1958, that sort of thing).
whatever it was was not classified by my school.
You generally felt physically and emotionally safe at school.
i was bullied & harassed through much of my school years. so, no.
You were in relatively good physical and mental health.
i got the typical colds & flu, chicken pox (age 6) and then measles (age 7) & tonsillitis at 12.
as for mental health, see above answer.
For the most part, you were able to study and complete assignments without any struggle.
meh.
Test-taking came easily to you.
if i recalled what i had studied, yes. otherwise not really.
You seldom faced difficulty understanding assignments.
for the most part.
You read at grade level or above.
yes. our mom would like to tell the story that in 3rd grade (or there abouts) i was late to class because i was by the 5th grade classes reading the short stories they posted about their future plans, or whatever, in the hall.
Adults responsible for your care supported your academic journey for the better and for the worse.
our mom though i should've tried to go to college on scholarship, but i was no more than a C level student. my brother didn't go to college either for the same reason.
