Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 2558698, member: 626"] So, to extrapolate- if a kid goes the minor league or professional tennis/skateboarding/dirt bike/musician routes and forgoes college to follow the money and/or pursue his dreams, does that constitute not “caring” or valuing education? I just don’t get the point you’re trying to make here. Bazley is a smart kid w/ good grades, so he’s not exactly struggling. His decision has absolutely nothing to do w/ how much or how little he cares about education. It’s more about whether he “needs” college to get what he wants, or can he skip college & still achieve his goals. Additionally, tying his individual circumstances & choice to a value judgement on how certain “segments of the population” view education, displays an overreach of epic proportions. JMHO [/QUOTE]
