"Our son is 35 years old now, completed his high school 1 year early, completed a 4 year degree in 3 years and has been working as an advanced computer programmer responsible for the Tampa division of the New York Times website and recently started his own business and in 2 months he and his wife are giving us our first grandchild. We couldn't be more proud.

Question of the day: Why do the public schools take 12 years to teach things that take 2 years to learn?

Roll that around upstairs for awhile.

(most people use the public school system as a free daycare center)

Good story

“Why do the public schools take 12 years to teach things that take 2 years to learn?”

Because the other 10 years is consumed in bureaucracy and frivolous testing?

It takes 10 years of indoctrination to form little liberals....

Why does it seem strange to me that the son, whose parents were so careful to protect from liberal brain-washing, is working for the New York Times. What’s wrong with this picture?

There you go. It all began when school busses began making the rounds. Now it is early morning until evening.

I hear ya! If I was inspired when I went to high school I would have had a bachelor’s degree at age 18! “You can’t do that!” is what people think! Why not?...to give some losers jobs?

I went to a private Lutheran school K-8. Public Highschool 9th grade to 12th was merely a repeat of Grades 7 and 8 for me.

I rank it up there as the smartest thing my parents did. Sending 5 kids through private school. I wonder how they afforded it.
