I was talking to a few classmates(I'm in summer school).
Talking about how Pell grants are being suppressed by the new Republican Congress members.
talking about how much better it is now that kids can be insured until they are 25.
talking about how hard it is to get by without government assistance when you are a single parent trying to raise a family and better yourself.

...But we gotta get Obama out of the White House.
I asked these kids to point me towards one thing that he began that they disapproved of.




silence.

2. Well......

You are in summer school after all so I'm assuming these kids aren't Rhodes scholar candidates.......

3. I am taking a class before I enter graduate school...

It's college....although I'm sure not many ARE Rhodes Scholars.

9. Ahh, I see

my apologies then.... Summer school is used in an entirely different context up here. Good luck in grad school; it is hands-down one of the most difficult but rewarding experiences in my life (I did it while working full time).

6. Bad assumption!

The best students I've ever known went to summer school to get classes out of the way and empty up schedule space for more. Sure, there were some n'er do wells and special education students, but not in the same classes.
