You've probably heard this before, but...

I am going back to help one more day with our soccer camp so will be with the lady 'with the sons' one more time this morning. I will see if I can try that wonderful suggestion of turning the tables...gently. I'm gonna bring up what I am now studying and what my son is studying. There is another lady in the room, though, that is applauding my efforts. She has 3 teens, one of whom is looking to get into college this year. She is amazed that I am talking a year for my degree, not 4 years. She's a single mom and I know this would be just the ticket for her boys. We'll see what comes of today....

Gotta run, I'm already late.

Great for you, and consider this...

BILL GATES, the richest man in the world and co-founder of Microsoft did not have the time and patience for brick and mortar schools. He had to go invent the stuff that they now teach in schools.
Read this from his speech in 2007:
I want to thank Harvard for this timely honor. I’ll be changing my job next year … and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume.

I applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your degrees. For my part, I’m just happy that the Crimson has called me “Harvard’s most successful dropout.” I guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class … I did the best of everyone who failed.

But I also want to be recognized as the guy who got Steve Ballmer to drop out of business school. I’m a bad influence. That’s why I was invited to speak at your graduation. If I had spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might be here today.

Oh, and how about Steve Jobs, the co-founder of apple, read this:
After school, Jobs attended lectures at the Hewlett-Packard electronics firm in Palo Alto, California. There he was hired as a summer employee. Another employee at Hewlett-Packard was Stephen Wozniak a recent dropout from the University of California at Berkeley. An engineering whiz with a passion for inventing electronic gadgets, Wozniak at that time was perfecting his "blue box," an illegal pocket-size telephone attachment that would allow the user to make free long-distance calls. Jobs helped Wozniak sell a number of the devices to customers.

In 1972 Jobs graduated from high school and register at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. After dropping out of Reed after one semester, he hung around campus for a year, taking classes in philosophy and immersing himself in the counterculture.

WHAT DO HER SONS THINK ABOUT THESE ACADEMIC LOSERS WHILE THEY SIT AT THEIR MICROSOFT POWERED COMPUTERS OR SEND MESSAGES ON THEIR APPLE iPHONES?
Steamroller right over people like this! Watch them in your rearview mirror as you get your degree and they are still talking about what not to do with their vacant minds!
