So let's hold back the hard working kids in the name of 'equality'. What
bull****.

Would be great to sue the school board themselves for harming the non dumb
kids. I can really see this hurting kids. I was a bored school kid
myself. High IQ, and slow classes. Bad study habits by the time I got to
late high school and college because of the lack of challenges.

I was pretty bored with school myself. I was making As and Bs screwing
off most of the time. That was in private school. In public school I
wasn't even sure I had to show up to get good grades. I could just
thumb through the books and get 90% on the tests. They basically just
took 180 days to teach a book you could read in a day.

Reading a Calculus book in a day will not make you very good at it!

Dunno Calculus wasn't a high school course when I was there and if
Algebra 2 is being dropped in high school there I doubt they are
getting calculus either.
I did get as much out of reading the book as I got from the teacher in
Algebra. I was done with all of the required math courses by the time
I got to my junior year anyway and the only required course I had in
my senior year was english. That was mostly a writing course. (English
composition).
I didn't spend a lot of time in class. I would write my papers, turn
then in and go get a beer.


Wow. I would sometimes sneak out of high school at lunchtime and walk a
long block to a local Italian deli for a first-class sub. We weren't
supposed to do that and on occasion I'd run into the assistant principal
there. He was there for the same reason, to get a sub. We'd walk back to
the school together, silently agreeing to not mention out "encounter" to
anyone.

We didn't really have a mandatory attendance thing. If you didn't have
a class, you didn't have to be there and if you skipped a class,
nobody cared. It was your money. You still had to make grades to pass
tho.

My senior english class was just too easy to miss. The teacher would
even announce that after he finished all of the important stuff,
reviewing your writing, you could leave. The back steps were right
outside the back door of the classroom and it dumped you out in the
alley between G street and F street (NW). There was a little bar/cafe
on the corner of 18th and F, 100 yards away, that had beers for a
quarter. You could get a burger with chips for 50 cents and tip the
server/owner a quarter for a nice dollar lunch.
Alas all of that is gone now. The last time I was down there I didn't
recognize the place. EOB is the only building that is still there.
There were also nicer places to get lunch if you felt rich but I
seldom was rich.


Did you go to Gonzaga? I don't recall the exact address, but I think we
drove by a private church-affiliated high school near Union Station
whenever we drove over to the campus of Catholic University.
