72. My high school was
working class all the way. Only 4 kids from my graduating class were college-bound (and this included 2 who announced they were going to community college). More than that had died from drug overdoses and drunk driving.

Jock? Popular. Metal-shop whiz? Popular. Taking pre-calc? Nerd.

I'm still ABD; my father required I finish my homework the day it was assigned before going out of the house or eating dinner, if possible. I miss school or skip class, I'm grounded. One lone "B" one quarter triggered a serious father-son talk.

I know parents that still are still that way. But not many.
