Man TCM, you must be typing like a geek movie star. It's a pain to read your long posts, sorry if I'm being direct here. I'd like to read them, but they're superfluous most of the time.


He obviously has a lot on his mind, I haven't forgotten the time i spent in Italy as "that foreign kid" who had a very hard time learning the language but still outran the class and was hated for it. unfortunately the teachers kind of made the point: how can this boy who has come to us with such a disadvantage be better than you, is what they used to say in my first class, when it got to college and electronics I was just an embaressment to pupils and teachers alike, I know thats why my grades were not as good as they could have been even in electronics.

In our technological world we so easily forget what got us here, we take the things around us that the human race has produced for granted, if you ask most people how some they use works they will probably have no clue at all. what will happen when we have no more people clever enough to take progress forward ? as far as I'm concerned civilization as we know it will collapse in the future because we are too stupid to see the obvious. Evolution is not a theory, it's a fact ! if we want to de-evolve so be it !
 


I couldn't agree more.

I my experience the most happiest and successful children aren't always the most intelligent. The best students are those that are hard working and are good at most things, from sports, to study to making friends. They're good at organising themselves and managing their time so they can study for exams, do their coursework and still have time for sports and a social life.

Unfortunately organising myself, making friends and sports are not my strongest points: electronics is my niche.

I am not even sure what that means or how I should take it?

Should I use less text and smaller words so the slow kids can keep up?

That way they won't start feeling bad about themselves when they think they have too much to read and understand?
