I wanted to forge my own path. With Harvey's help, I found what I wanted to do, and I didn’t want anything getting in the way of it.

there. fixed it.

“I struggled through school. I never felt very smart,” says Lawrence, who is presently taking a year off to fix our democracy.

Shouldn’t take more than a year.

I wish I would have dropped out of school in 7th grade before my eyes were opened to the sins so prevalent in our decadent public school system. Homeschooling would have been a better option...

The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance.

QUOTES AUTHORS ROBERT A. HEINLEIN

Robert A. Heinlein Quotes and Sayings

“[T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously-after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth.”
— Robert A. Heinlein

i don’t look down on people, not even a little bit for not doing college or even high school.

One of the things I like about America is that we don’t discard people just because they didn’t meet the grade in a certain area. There are lots of different paths to success.

And you don’t have to agree with what most people define as success either.

“I never felt very smart.” You’re still not, honey. So, keep your political views to yourself.

She doesn’t have the money. Her lawyers, agents and financial advisors control it. She is probably on an allowance. If she’s very lucky her people will treat her ethically. If not she’ll die broke.

Well I dropped out at 15. Best thing I ever did. Went back and achieved advanced degrees on my time on my dime.

Many kids would do well if they could do what Lawrence had done. End school at 8th grade, then move into a work/study program.

Many teens are ready to begin their lives at 14 to 16 but are imprisoned in the NEA jobs program til age 18 or more.

Yep. Just another vain female who got to her station in life based on her looks/gender and is now too stupid to know it.

Well, this shocks the FReepers, for sure.

I find it extremely frustrating that people who are so monumentally stupid, and often people who really never had to work hard, are so ridiculously rich. But that’s life.

Yeah, I guess whatever gets Harvey off makes money. What did they used to call that?

Perhaps, but think about it. This is an example where her parents flat out exploited their child’s talent for their own short term self interest. Their is no way a middle school child can wisely make that calculation. This is not someone who had to drop out of school take in washing to support her brothers and sisters because the parents were incapacitated. They ruthlessly viewed their daughter as a commodity as a path to riches. If the “wiki bio” is to be believed at least the mother had second thoughts.

Does she understand why the founding fathers put in the second amendment?

No, she does not.

None of the kids in todays public schools understand.
