We have had our third in-school accidental discharge by an armed teacher

If your point is that school teachers are not responsible enough to
have guns, I will let you win that one.

Why should school teachers not responsible enough to have guns? Or did
you mean 'in school' after 'guns'?

They can't even remember they shouldn't date the students. How are
they going to remember where they left their gun?

Perhaps in your next life, if there is one, you'll get a college degree
and not be so disdainful of those who did.

Non responsive

Perfectly responsive to someone who is disdainful of formal higher
education.

I appreciate engineers, doctors, nurses, scientists and even, to some
extent, lawyers but just going to college, to say you went, seems
silly to me. There are plenty of guys like Bill Gates and Mark
Zuckerberg who agree with me. After a year or two they figured out
they had squeezed all the juice out of that lemon.

Some people attend college to learn how to "think".
Many people can do that naturally.

I see college as a necessity to achieve certain goals such as a career
choice of interest. Now-a-days it's probably even more important to
have the documented credentials. But, I agree, to attend college just
for the sake of attending college is probably a waste of time and money
for many.
