Ya know Kelkhil, I gotta give props. There are still some guys who run about with the old carbines and pumps. I tend to take them out first 'cause they tend to be those sneaky ghost flanking ambushing cutthroat bastards. They make the game truly worth playing. HALO tactics (according to the way the kids play) just make for more targets. YAY FOR MORE TARGETS!

By no means an education expert here but wouldn't that point teachers in the right direction of what the kid actually needs to learn associated to English? Math sure is easy to learn since numbers are universal but once they get into having to learn rules and laws of math wouldn't the lack of language understanding hinder that learning? Just because their kids score low it does not mean their children are dumb. It means that they are given a chance to learn further by finding out what they still need to learn. Besides, if the parent are trying to naturalize don't they have to learn English anyways. Boo hoo, people moving in who can't press on because they can't or WON'T learn English. Sorry. Go home.

It is only omission if you leave off some of your education. Just getting your foot in the door might help out more than you think. Hell, I just get stir crazy not doing anything. Good luck Hobbs. If an uneducated pud like myself can bullshit his way into management then someone like yourself should have no problems climbing the ladder. Don't feel bad about stepping over bodies along the way (as long as you didn't cause their demise). Kharma really loves tugging at the nethers once you start leveling out with the upper echelon. And never be afraid to open the whoop ass can when needed. Assert yourself as a person willing to get the job done or to maintain for the long haul.

My friend suggested that but then I'd have to explain the gaping hole that three years at university would create.

My friend had this whole story worked out about living in a remote part of Mongolia with a nomad aunt who ahd no phone.

He overthinks things sometimes

I'm beginning to think Zeek's right and those tests are actually trying to measure how well suited 7th graders are for positions within the US job market.
