<p>JHS: Yeah, my friend was in philosophy classes with him at Yale & he’s not just a pretty face jock. </p>
<p>There is a lot of truth to the old song, “You’ve got to be a football hero to get along with the beautiful girls.”</p>
<p>You guys reminded me - My S went to a jr/sr high school where you could easily take higher level classes. He was passed over for the eighth grade math award even though he was taking AP calculus, was the top competitor on the varsity math team, and was representing the school in national math competitions. He was never told why, but he assumed that his credentials made him ineligible.</p>
