I didn't know that. I know she got into Georgetown for sure. Yes, times are changing and I am probably older than you think

So, are you going to ask Dad for the explanation or not?

The description above works well with many high end teachers - intelligent in an autistic way and somewhat detached from reality.
It never ceases to amaze me how most highly-graduated people I get in touch with can't do anything with their hands.

Or maybe I'm just a redneck :roll:

A French redneck!?!? Now that's someone I'd like to meet. I bet he hates the French Football (Soccer, for us Americans) Team more than I do.

Do French rednecks eat squirrel? I eat squirrel, and I'm only an honorary redneck.

I have friends and relatives in ivy league schools and in community college. There is an even distribution of geniuses and idiots. One physicist friend in Berkeley still thinks a turbo makes the exhaust go back into the engine.



A person's GPA or university says nothing about their intelligence, only either their diligence, or wealth.
