And they'll fix your grades if you play for their teams...or is that Georgetown? [/b]

Well why do you think Georgetown football is undefeated for 50+ years running?

Josh....I just figured it out.....one easy clue

I know for a fact that one night the administrators in a Baltimore Shitty school that I use to teach in sat up and changed all the tons of failing grades to passing ones so the school didn't look so bad to the even higher ups. No wonder the little bastards refused to do anything in school but harass the teachers and destroy the place. This was far from the first or last time that I've seen something like that happen but it was the most blatant and widespread. One other time they made us use some formula where once we came up with our numeric grade, we'd use this formula which resulted in every student receiving no lower than a 65, which was just passing. This included students who never even bothered to set foot in the building for even one day of the grading period because they were cutting school.

just to clarify things a little, this is all about a project in a family studies class.  the reverend doctor burdette is offering his students a chance to do a little real world research in the field.  if they go through the proper work, come down to the club, and figure everything out, they get a couple of extra credit points.  he and i made an agreement a few years back to do this.  maybe 5 students have actually succeeded in getting the extra credit in that time.  it's hardly on par with grade fixing.

Don't worry, I don't think any of us thought that it was. It actually sounds like a very cool project.
 
 Sorry if anything that I said gave that impression. I was just venting a little and trying to get the truth out to the public, which is based on a standard (or sub-standard, I should say) public school system. Wouldn't know about and have never witnessed anything of the sort on the college level.

Other than every college sports program of course.

Given your disdain for college, I'm curious if you are raising your son to be a bricklayer or a car salesman?

NOT a car salesman, that's for bloody sure. Nothing worse than having to deal with arrogant little rich boys like, well, YOU!
 
 If he wants to go to University he will, but his schooling will be in Ireland so he'll have a far superior education than his American counterparts.
