YIKES! I am a high school dropout/then kickout. Got almost all Fs and Ds since 6th grade.
Anything I know, is purely self taught at home (other than 2 massage/natural health short course, about 6 months or so).
Truth is, I hated High School very much. I hated grade school as well. I loved Jr. High because there were so many cute girls. In those days it was still a very Jewish area, so I have this thing for Jewish girls. I cannot explain it but it is just so.
I bailed on High School myself, but I managed to figure out how to get back into Society. I have hundreds of hours of College ‘units’ and ultimatly a Degree in my Medical Field. I could have accomplished that by the time I was 14 years old, if not earlier.
I am not impressed by public education. I was bored out of my mind by the 3rd grade. It totally sucked for a guy such as myself, but indeed, I had to learn the social nuances.
So I hung in there, until I couldn't.
