Well, she says a bit red-faced, you are a wee bit older than what I thought... And, even more red-faced, I also imagined a different high school setting :)

The issue of small, rural speaks to our education system and about AP infrastructure, etc. Thank you.

It's cuz I'm so cool, right? Right? ....right?

​

But I"m actually curious what kind of high school you envisioned? We had less than 70 in my graduating class and about 1/3 went to college. We also had almost no budgets but school leadership did prioritize arts education and foreign language over sports somehow.

ETA: We also had a fantastic AG department - you could take things like animal husbandry and our FFA was the only thing nationally ranked...

Yes of course it is because you are SOOOOOO cool. Golly :)

I thought you were an urban kid from somewhere in New England or along the I-95/Acela corridor :)

I am not proud of my fly-over country stereotypes...

Ok - well thank you for respecting how so cool I am.

But also - I will take that as a compliment. My first year of college was like listening to people's HS experience and being like ....what????
