I hated seeing those post-ups, it was even a newspaper clipping- the one I remember sparking a sot of outrage in me- of an article claiming that high-school dropouts had shitty jobs- basically- well, we were told simultaneously that "we could be anything we wanted", which was a lie, and I knew it- I had told my principal that we are just here thrown into an 'adult atmosphere', with little direction, and a responsibility to be [not guided but...] again, 'thrown', into this world and learn how to meander to a source of work to retrieve and deadlines to be ascertained by teachers who were overworked and who taught a rampant cause [that is, to push out many many students]. I never blamed those teachers of course, I was rather admirable of teachers, and even like the profession. But that stuck with me, forever. PS: Age Of Mythology rocks. Age Of Empires 1, too, but 2, ppffffft- and is that a Pentax. Hmmm.... PPS: The entire pedagogical IDEA needs a paradigmal change.
