I attended a small, country high school. I studied English, mathematics, history, health, science.... the basic stuff. When I applied several years later to attend college, my ACT score was 28 (equivalent to about 1880 SAT). While 28 does not make me a genius of any kind, it is good enough to be accepted to most colleges. Only the high-end ones would not accept me. I didn't care. I wanted to be a nurse and the local community college had a good program. I applied and was accepted. I later attended Murray State University for the Bachelor Degree in Nursing, and later University of Kentucky for pre med.
When my husband and I married, we were dirt poor. But here is one thing we both had: a solid education from high school. We both could read. Using our reading skills, we were able to improve our positions in life. But what was equally important was the fact that we were confident in our ability to learn new things. We had a solid foundation built from our public schooling.
I taught myself computers and music. I also have a keen interest and understanding of electronics theory. .
I am nothing special when it comes to intelligence. So I don't understand why kids today are so far behind the rest of the world in education? It is the schools' curriculums, the teachers, the genetic weaknesses of the students, the drive to achieve success, or what is it?
Can you help, Kathianne.
