Very sad for everyone involved.

There were quite of my friends who were in the engineering program, which requires high SAT scores, that are massively technical

I love how some of you guys knock smart folks without realizing that one of those nerds created the technology you use to bash them. There were quite of my friends who were in the engineering program, which requires high SAT scores, that are massively technical.

There are many types of intelligence. Analytical intelligence, Physical intelligence, Tactile intelligence, Emotional intelligence, etc. That's why we used to have PE, marching band, shop, home ec, art, and all the other ways a kid could do well in school without mastery of Algebra.
So these kids are smarter in a tiny silver of subjects like European history and Algebra. Bet those little mouth breathers would have a hard time winning a baseball game or kissing a girl. Don't ask a kid who scored well on the SAT to change a McPherson strut, he will retreat to a safe space.

Anytime that "safe space " is invoked it is used to imply that one is a be nice and can't handle life. My father is, admittedly, a massive academic. He was a college professor. No, he wouldn't be able to change a strut on a car. Not because he is too stupid to learn, but because for him to buy the equipment, which he wouldn't have used hardly ever, was an expense he wasn't willing to endure. To imply that all those academics are idiots is quite narrow minded, and rather telling of a person. I feel the same way about academics looking down at those who farm or are manual laborers. Some of the smartest folks I have known barely have a high school education.

It's about "want to" verses "can do."ez14.":pzb9uojo said:I don't think he's knocking anyone just pointing out that as a general rule most people Excel in certain areasBestoutwest":pzb9uojo said:JWBrahman":pzb9uojo said:Don't ask a kid who scored well on the SAT to change a McPherson strut, he will retreat to a safe space.

My step father taught Chemistry at SLU from 1961 until around 2010. He could also change a U joint.
I was referring to the people today who get butt hurt every time they wanna meddle in other peoples business. Like the kids who didn't actually get shot but hurried up to catch the celebrity rabbit before the kids who did get shot got out the hospital.
I was shot 21 years ago when a group of black guys decided to steal my 1969 Mustang with me in it. There were no press conferences or. go fund me pages.
Someone with HS bookkeeping can teach graduate level accounting if he has any sense at all. Just takes intelligence not prerequisites.M-5":35s3ad2y said:Business 101 taught by a professor that has never ran a business. Brilliant
