George Washington
Abe Lincoln
Thomas Edison
Andrew Jackson
The above mentioned had an education equivalant to that of a current colege level education. In those times, thier education had a classicle tent to it. Geroge Washington was educated in classic Greek and latin philosophy.
Lincolin was taught rudamentery education in various formats all throughout the fronteier. He was also tought some aspects of again Latin and some greek.
Again a similar story with Edison. Also Jackson.
Harry Truman
His mother influanced him greatly with an education level that far exceeded today's standards. Including music, reading and history... Again at a level far higher than today.
And I can go on.. Primary reason I say this, is because all of the aboved mentioned people and the others you cite were all classicaly educated, and with the concept of personal self worth, not self esteem, and were taought that they were owed NOTHING and had to EARN everything.
I understand what you are saying, but keep in mind Ozzy also never graduated, made a million dollars, married a hottie wife, and now is in retirement all before the age 220.
How many high school boys and girls used THAT excuse to drop from high school???? too many for me to count.
