Carty, may I call you Carty? Carty, no doubt you could have benefited from an honors class or two. You're obviously very intelligent, and though your arguments are poorly formed, they are articulate. The public school system let you down in terms of finding a stimulating environment for you to thrive in. But let's face it. You're doing great. You obviously have a job the allows you to while away the hours for days at a time (I just counted how many times you posted to Salon--WOW!). After all, you made a near perfect score on your SAT's at the precious age of 16 (even though the SAT is nothing if not a test that rewards those who can regurgitate what the administrators want to hear.) And you are obviously blessed with a special knowledge of semantics because as you pointed out "homeschooling" is pronounced as one word, though every time I try and say it, it comes out as two (point being we were disscussing spelling, not pronunciation). So c'mon Carty, public school was OBVIOUSLY a boon to your development! You should be proud.
