I did OK in subjects that interested me and very well in English and history, , but after 4 years I graduated 180th in a class of about 360. I liked college, but fooled around and eventually was suspended. Although I went back twice to finish college, I never did -- life got in the way. Still, I survived.<BR/><BR/>My son graduated from high school a year ago. He went off to college and promptly quit going to class. He withdrew in January and now is working part-time in retail. I tried to encourage him, telling him that it's OK, and maybe he will find out that college was better than working. He countered with, "I loathe learning."<BR/><BR/>Anyone have a snappy comeback?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
