I don't think that was what he was implying. I think he was saying that its not as big of a deal as people would have you believe. The teachers all fill you up with idea that if you fail your whole life is over, which isn't true at all. Life is full oppertunities (sp?) Just because you may fail school your first time doesn't mean you'll be a hobo for the rest of your life. You can go to college whenever you want and take courses, well i think you can lol. You can take courses to get your ged or whatever you need, go to a community college and start over. I think that's what he was trying to say.
