| The problem with many public schools is that the bottom 80% of the class doesn't have the intelligence to understand that there are some people who are just more dedicated and/or learn things at a much faster rate (smarter?), so to make themselves feel better they'll call the people who want to go some place beyond a local state uni/community college a "nerd" or someone who "lacks common sense" for not being another one of them. It's a vicious cycle. |
