How do these geniuses graduate 1.5 years early ?

Julian Lewis and others. Can’t string 2 sentences together. Spend their weekends traveling the country. Doing 7 on 7 and camps. Signing NIL deals. Visiting various colleges.

And then they reclassify to their junior year. And and and they come in the spring?

So these guys are graduating in 2.5 years? Really? With credits to qualify for a major college? Or are they testing for their GeD and colleges are taking that?

Color me suspicious. I actually worked hard in hs and had some extra credits and stuff and I figured out I could have graduated end of my junior year but obviously not with the right classes to get to a major college. So naturally I went my senior year.

But these dudes? How is this happening I wonder?

Easy. They don't have to go to class or study very much. They get credits for not doing work in a good many classes. And the classes are probably easy. No real grading, not a lot of reading, and very little writing.

I was going to resist commenting until your last paragraph and now I can’t

By the way, you said you had six legit classes at Sara and I’m sure one was religion. Did public schools have 5 then? All I knew was we had one more than the public schools. But our classes were like 5 minutes shorter. But our lunch was 10 min shorter and somehow that all added up to that extra class.

Anyway. I loved poetry. And poetry class. Totally for why you might guess. The reason? I am a lazy slow reader and my reading comprehension is low. Hahaha. Soooo reading dickens? Or homer? Omg torture for me. But poems? They’re short you see? Easy reading. Even possible you can read and memorize most of it and get ideas for it while driving to school while stopped at red lights. Uh. Just to use that as an “example”.

so when analyzing them. Being able to come up with phrases like “the writer is commenting on the absurdity of human existence” goes a looooooong way with hippy teachers who graduated nor cal colleges in the 60s and are teaching Fresno hs in the 80s.

“Frailty of the human spirit” was another great line. Making random and benign references to existentialism also was a favorite.

Properly dropped in. Not over used. These went a long way and I didn’t stay up till 3 am falling asleep in hundred of pages.

Poetry was great. Even if I had little clue what they were saying or cared much for the study of these nerdy mostly suicidal clods.
