Calvin
“Mom said they were going to keep me back at the end of first grade, but when they tested me they found out I was in the ninety-sixth percentile for intelligence and they figured I was just bored. Dad gave me lectures explaining how all the brains in the world wouldn’t do me any good if I didn’t know how to work. But as it turns out, all the lectures in the world don’t make things any less boring, and they don’t make you work harder either. So I aced classes where all I had to do was show up and... take tests. I didn’t do as well in classes that required projects.
It always bugged me that I went to school but I didn’t seem to learn anything really useful. Like birds. I saw the same kinds of birds every day and there I was in my last year of high school and I didn’t know what kinds they were. Except robins. Shouldn’t there be a class called Basic Birds? What about flowers? Shouldn’t there be a course called Common Flowers You Will See in Your Typical Day? And what about stuff like how the financial world works?MoreLess
