<p>Wow, sybbie. You are right it’s discrimination. It can’t be legal. I assume you’re already talking to a lawyer about suing the schools, right? If not, you oughta be.</p>
<p>binx-
I figured garland understood the merits of violadad’s endowment (wait… is VD endowed??? anyone seen proof??)–</p>
<p>Oh, that was the VD joke??? ;)</p>
<p>Um, let’s go another way, before we get anymore of those off posts (sorry, Mods, please don’t delete the whole thread.)</p>
<p>I’m back, having banished vballson to the pool in the back yard, where he and his 2 friends from physics class are indeed walking on water. It’s not that extraordinary, really, just need a few noodles, some rope, and a couple of wood planks. Next up: building a hovercraft from lawn mower parts.</p>
<p>Here it is April 30th and our DS has now decided to take a “gap life.” I hope the admissions dept. at Berklee will be flexible and will let him stay “admitted” until he returns next life. </p>
<p>His second choice, Devry Tech (excellent jazz composition program) has already penciled him in for the class of 2130.</p>
<p>Amazing how a few words that skirt the edge of the spam blocker, and the acronym of a college choice triggered that BIGTIME spam post #420 (whew-- my delicate eyes… protect me!!)-- I am sure the mods are one it-- it’ll be a goner soon, adn we can return to our usuall silliness.</p>
<p>^^sorry, skrlvr, to take so long to reply to Post #357. I have been trying to replicate your son’s discovery, though so far without success. While waiting for the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen apparatus to start detecting causality violations, I hopped over briefly to the thread about home-schooled Chicago-area student Chelsea Link, who had a slew of Ivy admittances this year.</p>
<p>But what I read there gave me pause. It seems that when Chelsea signed in each day, at her private kindergarten–using cursive–the teachers objected, because the other students didn’t know how to write in cursive. One can only imagine their joy, if one of their students had invented a time machine!</p>
<p>So, did your son’s teachers call you to complain about the invention? Otherwise, this entire story seems improbable to me.</p>
<p>Ok people! I go to work for one whole day and 8 - count them EIGHT pages to catch up with. Really now. And all these hi jacks! Back to OP’s question - obviously the only way is pathway A. No further discussion is required. It is the only sane option and only way for responsible parents to guide their prodigies. All those competitive posting stats are irrelevant when everyone knows it is your passion that counts.</p>
<p>roomba roomba? anyone?</p>
<p>Also, at the meta-level, I would like to point out that the entire idea of choosing Pathway A OR Pathway B (or any of an infinite number of pathways) is incompatible with quantum physics. This is QUITE CLEARLY explicated in the book Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals, by Feynman and Hibbs. EVERY possible path contributes to the probability amplitude for any event, although admittedly there are interferences between paths. But this is how QuantMechPrime avoided difficult choices among the Ivies . . . and is attending them all, simultaneously.</p>
<p>If no one can help me with this roomba, I can just assume you know NOTHING. Thanks for nothing.</p>
<p>Look, fencersmother, I just checked the index in Feynman and Hibbs, and roomba isn’t listed. If Feynman didn’t know the answer, how could I?</p>
<p>Also, I just checked on Amazon and you can purchase a first edition of Feynman and Hibbs for just $552.34, if you were so improvident that you neglected to add it to your library when it first came out. (I’ll be selling mine in thirty years, to help with the college tuition for QuantMechPrimePrime.)</p>
<p>fencersmother, my 6-year-old will spill milk all over your floors, and my cats will lick it up. This works well for us, and since everything my family does is done the right way, I assume this will work for you? They’ll be over in about half an hour.</p>
<p>QuantMech, perhaps you would be interested in helping to mentor S2 with his independent physics study in Eructation Acoustics?</p>
<p>vballmom – i have it on good authority that my next-door-neighbor’s landscaper’s cousin’s best friend’s sister’s daughter built a hovercraft from lawnmower parts last year and STILL got rejected from all the ivies!</p>
<p>I think we need jnsq’s D to weight in.</p>

<p>Harriet, as I said earlier she intends to don the robes of a Druidic priestess after she gets a BM, (or a BA if she does Y, as Y doesn’t have performance undergrad concentration). Right now she’s technically an acolyte. In training. Get it? She’s not yet fully qualified to perform stand alone rituals. And it’s cats, not squirrels. You’re thinking of another sect.</p>
<p>binx- you’re out of line. I will not give you the satisfaction of a reasoned reply.</p>
<p>mythmom- The blank check I mentioned has been mailed, but I already put a stop payment on it after your insistence we pay full freight. Bogus.</p>
<p>Per cartera45:
</p>
<p>No. We trying to plea bargain a deal so D can keep them.</p>
<p>binx again:
</p>
<p>This be a truism. A truism is 3 levels higher than a pathway for the uninformed.</p>
<p>mizzoumom- Quite obviously, my D is far superior. Get over it.</p>

<p>EVER HEAR OF LIBEL? PROVE IT. ANOTHER PEEP OUTTA YOU, YOU’RE GONNA HEAR FROM OUR LAWYERS.</p>
<p>maysixxmom-
Thats not a hovercraft, that’s a ROOMBA!!</p>
<p>violadad, sorry. Sects on the brain, I guess.</p>
<p>bethievt, well I sure as shootin’ don’t want jnsq’s D’s LAB PARTNER mentoring my kid. I’m hoping jnsq’s D is out celebrating, and much too busy to help my little physicist.</p>
