My brother managed to get a masters degree in education.
Unable to make it in that field, he went to truck driving school.
They kicked him out because they thought they'd never be
able to teach him to be safe on the road.

So, there are smart people here. Who knew? LOL

Whatever you want me to be.
OK . . . but there still must exist a proportion of actual high school drop outs that go on to do well in higher education. Clearly high school failed these people if they were able to do well in college.
I think that for the most part, public high school 'fails' most people. When I was there, did the guidance counselor show me all the many thousands of jobs that a college education can lead to? No. I have seen the book of all the professions that exist. I had three choices, but it was only because I was alone.
as I suggested, education level does not equal smart, except perhaps in increasingly limited areas...I have known quite a number of people who were successful in life (career, family, etc.) with no more than a HS diploma. And, some people who have been failures despite strings of degrees. Smart sometimes realizes that the way to success is NOT through the education system...but it is known to help overall...

I didn't either, because I failed P.E. But I went back to school later, when I was 23.
I failed gym in college. Like there was a maximum of classes to attend. I felt so stupid. It would have been easy, I think.

I once got an E minus on a test.
I regularly got"F" s
An F is easy.
But to inspire an instructor to ad a minus to an E.....that was special.

Just shy of excellent? Perhaps you should have paid more attention.
That is cute. What was the teacher's name if you can remember?
