One can't achieve great things without aiming high, yet the bar is constantly lowered. I had to start homeschooling my oldest daughter because she was attending a highly-rated school, making A's...and falling asleep in class. When I saw the work they were doing, I asked her what she did when they were going over something that she already understood..."I close my eyes". That started an adventure our family has thoroughly enjoyed and has yielded very good results so far...but what about her classmates who had fewer options?<br /><br />Regarding the "no one actually reads that stuff before they sign it" thing - the world has gone stupid that way. I was doing a refinance the other day and a notary (a NOTARY PUBLIC!) told me that nobody reads all that stuff...I told her that I was certain the lender intended to hold me to all of the terms of the deal, so please give me a few moments while I skim this stuff and make sure I understand it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
