Four years of private school education and they can plant trees.

I remember going to an information night for Northwestern University (when my eldest was looking at schools with good music programs). The whole emphasis seemed to be on the student being able to "find themselves" during the four years at Northwestern by taking whatever classes they wanted.

My daughter picked this up and said she like the idea of being able to just "find herself". I told her if she was that unsure about what direction she wanted to go; she could "find herself" at a state university.

She ended up going to Indiana University at Bloomington because of the excellent music school they have there. Little did I know that if my great-grandparents had come into the country illegally, she might have been eligible for in-state tuition.

Ironically, I’ve met graduates of that school who couldn’t find their ass with both hands and a map...
