I not only ...Jeez, Sid, were we separated at birth? I not only agree, but I've loudly supported the concept of a break between HS and college for at least 30 years. A couple of years of putting a roof over one's head, food in one's belly and clothes on one's back by the sweat of one's brow gives a certain necessary perspective.<br /><br />I blew my opportunity as well, a bit more thoroughly than you did, I'm afraid. Went to a bigger school; I hadn't thought of that as a factor, but you've definitely got a point.<br /><br />DrekMan wrote <i>Who goes to College to improve there "Critical thinking Skills","Complex Reasoning", and this thing you call "Writing"???</i><br /><br />Obviously, not he.

I went to a State School, thats probably not even the best in the State, but still produced more NASA Astronauts than the whole Ivy Conference combined, and the 2010 BCS Champions BTW.<br /> Best Class I took was Senior year, a 1/2 credit PE class just to make the graduation requirements, and when they charge you by the credit hour why take more than necessary?<br /> A PE class that was full of mostly Cheerleaders/Cheerleader wantabees, and while I don't remember any meanigful philosophic discussions, I got my money's worth outta that class..<br /> Nome Sane???????<br /> Thats Ebonics for "Know what I'm Saying?"<br />Bet you didn't learn THAT at Yale...<br /><br />FrankAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
