"Success Clubs" in schools?

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Dont hire. You look at the ourward appearance. Any lesser can wear a suit and tie.

That's obviously how you got hired. The neck tattoos, ear gauges and nose rings meant nothing!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I was not. Yet again: Not one single time did I hear the words "compound interest" uttered while in high school. My nephew didn't know what it was!

I am sorry you never got past pre-algebra in math.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

If someone forgot either it wasn't important enough to remember or it wasn't taught very well.

That is determined by the student and usually what mattered the most in them not remembering.

Sit down, plebe.

 

[Unkotare]

Just stop. I get that you believe in your own infallibility. But just stop.

So, you did forget.

 

[Jarlaxle]

So, you did forget.

No, I was never taught it in school. I understand that I am turning your sacred cow into cheezeburgers.

While i have none of those im wondering why they would bother you.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

So, you didn't?

They all bother me. Thanks for asking. They bother most people who are looking for a professional appearance in their workers. I think your dementia is clouding your judgement again Methuselah. I'll bet that wasn't much of a problem when you were working in the 60s as long as they kept the darkies out of the workplace. No hippies either I would assume.

 

[Unkotare]

No, I was never taught it in school. ...

Not that you remember anyway.

 

[Jarlaxle]

So, you didn't?

Of course I did, plebe. (Despite the best efforts of one teacher, who would have failed his own class.) It was one of the few classes I didn't loathe.

Not that you remember anyway.

Look, I get it: you will claim something stupid, and defend it to the death, with dishonestly-cut quotes, inane, no-content posts, grade-school insults, self-quoting, and your typical postwhoring bullshit.

Hey, it's ok. Nobody remembers everything. Don't be so hard on yourself.

We had various after school clubs in high school, all non-academic and largely social. We should have "success clubs" for those who want to prepare for success while still in school. Foundational principles for achieving success could be taught by local leaders and successful businessmen and women. Admission to the club would require grades above a certain level as well as a good conduct history.

Wait. Didn't you say you did not do well in a traditional school setting--that you didn't even like school? So what gives?

I did well enough to graduate with a B minus average grade, and I was just in the upper half of my class. I liked some courses, others not. I just didn't relate to school. It wasn't important to me although it was important to me to graduate.

We have those in our high schools. I forget their cheesy stupid names but they are mentorship clubs along the lines of that Franklin Covey cult.
