Of course, we were fucking hippies in the 60's.... and the sacks had bell-bottoms.

Like Kitan, I did well in english and history, stuff I liked. Math and physical science was terrible. Life science (biology?) was pretty good.

I also wasn't pressured. Not sure my mom or grandparents graduated from high school. I was told, straight C's were good, anything above that was cake. As long as I passed, that was acceptable. I averaged B+/- and the same in vocational school.

My youngest son struggles. This is what gets him peeved.






Not sure I agree with EERYTHING he says, but he makes some damn good points.

In high school I was average ... 2.3 or so. Graduated college with a 3.77.

And snow...we had to walk ten miles through the snow to get to school and eleven miles back...and all of it uphill...into the wind.

Both ways.. to and from.

Of course, we didn't have shoes - we wrapped our feet in barbed wire for traction, and we were goddamn grateful to have it.

Now get off my lawn.

Among atheists, being academically accomplished will rarely earn you derision.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
