And college was no better.

I *hated* college. So freaking s-l-o-w. 3 months to read a book and
take a test. Really? C'mon, that's ridiculous. And the class didn't
even cover the entire textbook. Then they switched from quarters to
semesters, so even longer to be bored. I tested out of as many classes
as they permitted, and they wouldn't let me test out of more. They
claimed the classroom experience must also be included for a
well-rounded education. Yeah, sit in a chair and listen to a prof orate
a textbook, and his oration interrupted by stupid questions.



Well stated.

When I hit college, I was a vet. I had no patience
with condescending, arrogant, pompous blowhards.
They taught me differently than the did the children
that also attended the classes. I was responsible
for getting two teacher removed for not doing
their jobs.

Several teachers said they liked teaching vets because
there was no subterfuge. We were there for a reason
the EXPECTED them to do their part. No having to
herd cats.

I also hate(d) school. The first day on campus after
six years of military service and one medal, when I
stepped foot on campus, I literally shook. "What in
God name am I doing to myself?" I graduated in 4-1/4
years whilst working full time WITHOUT ONE SINGLE
SOLITARY EXTRA CREDIT. I was working as a full
engineer in my 3rd year of college.
