Schools offer nothing much of value and use. Our last course job oriented only really helps. But lessons of life mastered can make anyone successful. Great monoku.

I agree with you 99%. Kindergarden's OK. Kids are better off learning to socialize in a large group. After that, phooey... Bring back apprenticeships for all occupations, I say! Let parents guide reading habits and morality. Thanks for your continued support, Rama! :) gw

It's also called the 'school of hard knocks' - but you don't get a fancy diploma at the end!

One reason my large mouth kept this so short is that nothing except 'college' rhymes with 'knowledge.' lol. Thanks, Jan! :) gw
