doc searls: "My own IQ scores have ranged over 80 points. My SAT's were worse than George W. Bush's. When I was in Junior High School, my grades and scores were so poor that I was slotted to attend a "vocational" high school where they taught "trades" like auto mechanics and rough carpentry and from which nobody went on to college.

If my parents hadn't sent me off to a private high school (which I only half-jokingly called an academic correctional institution), I probably would have gone down the blue collar cattle chute. I still I barely got into college anyway. From Kindergarten through my sophomore year in college, I was at best a C-minus student. To me, school was prison.

Of course I still learned plenty. Some if it was taught to me. But most of it I acquired on my own. The system never stifled my curiousity." (source)
