Does school really matter?

[dr. d]

Most of us alumni of the PSHS system are not happy with the initial decision of the board of trustees regarding these hoodlums. It caused an uproar of sorts and the borad of trustees reversed their decision.



Some are just ordinary folks, more like sharp-minded folks like me and Jut. However, there are some kids that are really gifted, enough to earn them academic scholarships in top US universities.

yes,
some students get high grades because they laboriously rake thru the books.
while the great majority of us... we get very little sleep, pouring into our reading material, only to barely pass...
a few, the gifted ones, we do not see them studying at all, and they get the highest grades...
the exceptions are there, but they're clearly the very minority.

and when these institutions are talked about, positively or negatively, the public seems to think that the single-digit minority represents the majority of the population.
