“The institution made no effort to reach out to me — a bright and promising student in their midst —”
Dear Mrs. Obama,
This is exactly what the Bill Ayers/George Soros/Ford Foundation/Teacher’s Unions/Saul Alinsky-types WANT and DEMAND in public schools, moving the class to the speed of the lowest common denominator AND pushing a collective sense of self-worth (narcissim) with no hard science, math or liberal arts learning, other than anecdotal pieces of learning.
Michelle, this is the education system you want and spend billions to implement; keeping the bright kids back while mashing the bell curve to produce more Obamabot drones who want a system that will make them poor and not secure.
It worked.
If AA wasn’t there, you would still be a well-paid bureaucrat teaching more Marxism and faux Community Organizing, which is thinly-masked Communism.
Just be thankful the adoring media cameras always miss your backside, Kim Kardashian could be considered a “peer.” Just saying, a real media would cut through your garbage, but we are stuck with Fox and talk radio.
Only 3 years and change to go...
Sincerely,
wac3rd
Copernicus is calling, Michelle. You’re not the center of the universe.
She seems more like a “glass half-empty” person to me. Never enough.
Was the university supposed to canvass the neighborhood for potential students? Somehow I doubt it has to look that hard for applicants. Why does she think she rated that sort of attention?
If only a real journalist had followed up her statement with a few pertinent questions. Sigh
Odd...I’m a white male, Class of ‘76, and no one “reached out to me” until I scored 1400 on the SAT. Then lots of schools did...
What an ego!
From what I understand, she did pretty well for someone who had a combined SAT score of 1010.
Don’t think that score would have “kicked in the doors” of Princeton, do you?
Well, it did for her.
It did, because of lowering academic standards. It happens when one of three things occur to admit people to colleges and universities when they do not have the test scores or grades to get in as a normal student:
1. Star athlete
2. Legacy/wealthy family (see Bush, Kennedy), or
3. Affirmative action
I think it was Number 3 for Michelle.
Cool! A Michelle Bobblehead!
Did she truly expect them to come begging at her door? Did she think she was supposed to be SUMMONED by a college? Why did she end up attending the one she chose? Did THAT school issue her a personal invitation?
That One and Michelle are such narcissists!
I did well in high school, Honors and all that, but I never got a call from the college that was in my hometown. I ended up going there, cause my Mama worked there, and I went for free. Of course, this was 1971, and the tuition was $279 a quarter. ;o)
