absolutely - im not knocking ditch diggers by any means so please dont misunderstand.
Im just saying that there are some candles which burn brighter than others... and there are some knives which are sharper than others.
and you cant focus on the dullest of the dull and say that all of the educational system is to blame.
i look at it this way... if the educational system and the parents are to blame for all of the drop out, teen pregnancy, underachiever kids...
... then who is responsible for all of the over achiever honor society types?
in the end it boils down to the individual
some kids just "want it" more than other kids.
all men may be created equal, but continued equality is not guaranteed to anyone.
