- Grantland had the comment, "How do you not have a LB spying Tebow on that 2pt conversion? Sparano should be fired for that alone." -- nm - Ghost Hunting Oct 24, 11:19 5

        Well, if you said 6 & 10...I think that'd be feasible....not (at best) 2 & 14 - Ghost Hunting Oct 24, 11:35 1

- I wish I could have played football in college, but I wouldn't steer my kids that way. - ceregon Oct 24, 11:15

  - Although, if weepy family dramas have taught me anything, it's to let my children be their own people -- nm - con_carnage Oct 24, 11:08
- of course! -- nm - Mama Rose Oct 24, 11:04

    - that still involves continuing education in it's own way. courses, apprenticeships, etc. -- nm - Andie Oct 24, 11:12
    - we want to present college as something that's not optional; that it's just what you do after high school - kare Oct 24, 11:08 24
      - i was raised like this actually. it worked for me. *not* going never even entered my mind, -- nm - Andie Oct 24, 11:10 21
        
        Me too. For me, it made me expect it to be just like the rest of school, which it was not. - The Ruiner Oct 24, 11:23

        yeah, that was me. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 11:26
        
        This is more of a problem with high schools these days. Teaching to the lowest common denominator and not pushing kids. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 24, 11:25
        
        sometimes I think I should have studied something more relevant to like, a job. but really it was never a question of not going. - amanda jones Oct 24, 11:23
        
        I didn't develop study skills becuase I never needed them. - Ghost Hunting Oct 24, 11:20 5
