Comment Re:From 3rd grade to college? (Score 1) 91

In 7th grade, school was trying to figure out why I was screwing up all the time and why my grades where all over the place. Went through a slew of cognative and sensory testing in hopes to pin down the problem. One test was IQ, which I scored 152 average. 30+ years latter I'm a total fuck up and can barely hold a job. IQ is nothing when you can't focus, lack civil social skills, and can't communicate effectively with people. School teaches kids how to deal with social and academic problems, in a controlled environment where they are expected to screw up. When kids become adults, you're screw ups will have a drastic impact on your reputation, trust in others, and overall ability to make a living.
