sweet I don't know what age elementary grades would indicate, but I think home-schooling is a great idea for those parents who are educated enough themselves to do it and can make the time.Originally Posted by daletom
heh, thank you. Sometimes I wonder if there just something I do that makes everybody just think that I'm intelligent when "in reality" I'm not. I suppose it just shows bad confidence. I know I used to never say thanks to compliments- I always said it's just dumb luck, etc. I wonder why so many people lack confidence in themselves. For me it's definitely led to a sort of "what does he see in me?" feeling in my relationship- funnily enough, even though he is a very confident intelligent person he has mentioned having the same feeling.Originally Posted by daletom
Sadly, no. The education system in Ireland is going in the right direction, making a college education the norm and offering grants to students who's parents make below a certain amount at work. But in my case I slipped by most of the system and then got into college through a loophole. The government is trying to encourage enterprise and new businesses, etc, so as far as I know all college courses require learning basics in business administration, marketing and comms, so no physics. Would be a cool subject though. I really enjoy almost any class with a good teacher/lecturer, though.Originally Posted by daletom
Why is that with many people think art students are slackers? I am a design student anyway, and it requires - or rather, it benefits greatly from - a lot of non-related knowledge. A lecturer at college once said "as a designer, it is your responsibility to know what's going on in the world". After all, once you have the actual practical techniques of design, you still need something to communicate. but anyways, i'm ranting!
