Btw, speaking of degrees...

I'm currently reading Jimmy Doolittle's biography. Did you know?

Not only was he the father of IFR, while he was in the army he applied for and got 2 years leave to go for his master's at MIT. He was so motivated he finished in the 1st year, so he used the 2nd year to earn his Doctorate.

Yes, the 30 Sec. Over Tokyo mission commander was formally entitled Dr. Doolittle.

And sadly, college is becoming the same way. It's not much unlike this, especially the :20 and :30 second parts;

Military folks generally prefer their rank to any academic titles they may hold.

I can say there is some good news, the level of education has increased in our district due to common core stds, at least at the elementary school level. A 2nd grader is getting 2 hours of homework a night. They are required to read, and analyze a story a week, read a book and write a short book report a week, study science, do a science project, and also complete an hr a week each of online reading and math. Also, they get math homework every night as well as spelling and vocab lists every week.

I've seen the subject matter and it seems the dumbing down has stopped. But what parents need to realize is school cannot raise and prepare your kids, that is your job. School helps, but parents need to be extremely involved. The Asian kids do all the school work, after school tutoring, music and sometimes a sport or physical activity. You have to start early with building responsibility and reading, like when they are 2. No TV until at min age 2, and no TV during the week. I think TV ruined the past 2 generations, people are realizing that, but too many parents keep buying and not controlling the PS2 etc. But there is good news out there.

Way to get a joke, Rick! Thank goodness you aren't always so serious no one needs to tell you to lighten up.

Well boy, Hawaiian called you for an interview because they knew, once they hired you, you would be theirs. Why, because no legacy would higher your non-degree ass.

Getting into a college is great but proves little, now finishing, which you did not do, that's a different story.

As far as insecurities go, I am just laughing at your stupidity. Pumping your chest for not having any college credits? YHGTBFKM

Have a nice day!

When someone is giving themselves high fives for having no college credits, well someone needs to tell them to close their mouth because they are sending the wrong message.
