[QUOTE="WTJ, post: 2062321, member: 6661"] A tale about the value, or lack thereof, of obtaining social skills in schools: Early in my school career, I was bored, and therefore somewhat disruptive (refused to shut up and color, literally). I had some perceptive teachers, and I was tested. The test results recommended I be advanced two grades. While my father agreed, my mother was concerned about my 'social skills and peer group'. I was not advanced, and spent the rest of my school career trapped in the prequel to the movie Idiocracy. Obviously, my education about my so-called age, or "peer", group was negatively impacted. I remind my mother of this frequently, particularly when she comments on my perceived intolerance and social retardation. I learned Libertarian values in the first grade. I kept telling them to leave me alone, I was not interested in coloring like the other dipshites. [/QUOTE]
