^^^ True that, miss ... But mainly, you can tell by their ability to think.

Don't you just hate people who can't think? That's all I do, my brain won't stop, sometimes it keeps me up at night........I never understood when people say they aren't thinking of anything. Are they really not thinking, or do they just not want to say what they're thinking?

Meditation, though to tell the truth, I cant do it for more than a few minutes before my mind starts jumping around outside of my control.

You probably wouldn't guess, but I'm a seventh grade dropout,lol.Or maybe you would!
I find it interesting that one can tell the readers by their posts.

Based on the sorry state of our school system, some how I think that would make you better qualified...You probably wouldn't guess, but I'm a seventh grade dropout,lol.Or maybe you would!
From what I've seen our school system excels at one thing - killing creativity.
But no, had you not admitted it, I would never have guessed.

When I was in school, I was a straight A student.I got 95th or higher percentile on the Iowa tests of basic skills consistently each year.I was the top score in the nation for two years.After my dad died, I skipped school a lot,and pretty much had to take care of myself at home.I didn't like being told what to do and kids my age, so the last year I actually attended was seventh.I was listed as homeschooled for eight, but I never studied the books, had to go in once on that and do ITBS, aced those.Then in ninth, when I was legally allowed to "officially" drop out, I was registered in the CEP program, where you just go to the college and do all of your own assignments,but I never went.So seventh was really the last time I was actually in school.

I pulled my daughter out of school her ninth grade year due to severe allergies. I homeschooled her. She took her GED test and scored higher than 96% of high school graduates. I still make every question she asks a lesson, even though she's 20 and shopping for online college classes now.

I can't prove it but I think that I read somewhere that 60% of high school grads couldn't pass the GED.
I kinda believe it, I wonder how many college grads couldn't pass it.

They have different test levels based on your assessment test. She had a green test and everyone else had yellow or brown. On breaks they were talking about the questions they did and her test was a lot harder. She passed the first time though, flying colors.

Personally, I believe that government schooling really hasn't much to do with a person's ability to think in a logical manner. It certainaly doesn't have anything to do with teaching accurate history, as we've seen time and again in this forum.You probably wouldn't guess, but I'm a seventh grade dropout,lol.Or maybe you would!
I had two inlaws who completed the third grade and went no further. They were two of the smartest people I've ever known from a common sense standpoint. Both were successful and owned their own businesses. One became a multi-millionaire. Both were very active in community service through the various service organizations such as the Elks and the Optimist clubs. None of their business associates would have ever believed that their educations only went to the third grade.
I wonder if any parents have ever sued their local public school system for failing to deliver as promised?
