Hell yes, they gave me a high school degree and everything. Pretty damn scary isn’t it?

Trust me it is a hell of lot harder to learn proper grammar and spelling later on in life. I went to a football factory, didn’t matter if Johnny could read but it was very important that the football team won.

So now if I plan on taking the GMAT or some other test for graduate school I will have to do four times the prep than if my public school teachers had been tougher on me.

What’s scary is that I know my education was better than what is happening in public schools today.
