I taught at a prep school one year where most of my fellow teachers were Ivy educated. One day in class a middle school student asked me where I went to college, and I responded, “The School Of Hard Knocks.” A few weeks passed and then the same student told me he asked his father if he knew anything about the School Of Hard Knocks. His father told him that my college choice meant something like i was either very poor or not very bright.

I respect others who are proud to have gotten their educations like I did.

Ironically one of the worst high school teachers that I had ever had was teaching in this very same elite school.
