Heya!

In your post, you reference the young lady wishing to attend college. I cannot count the obscene number of students who leave my area HS where I teach for the local community college and/or regional university, only to find out that college does not cater to your needs quite like the high school does.

To wit: a former student, whose father was sup’t of the school system did just that and pulled a buck shot, viz 0.0, after one semester. All of a sudden, who your father is, how much money you have etc. does not matter when it comes to schools with endowments and paying tuition.:)

Ah well, I only hope my two will fair as well as yours, although I will have to kill them if they take Greek. (I did. *shudder*)

:)

Hey Shag — guess what? My younger daughter is MINORING in Ancient Greek. She LOVES it!

I’ve asked her - will this help you on the MCAT?
Not really
Will this help you on your GRE?
Not really
Does this have any use in your real or future life?
Not really

But, she loves it, so who am I to question - I’m only the mother :)
