Now I Don't Claim To Be an A Student
A teenage girl said to me this week, "I kind of wish it was still the 90s, when it was cool to do badly in high school. Back then, I'd have gotten into Columbia."
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present Slacker Nostalgia.
Hmmmm ... didn't see that coming. Back in the late 1960s, at a Catholic all-boys school, slacker was just another word for pot head. We were launched on an unsuspecting world as strong "C" students. They never knew what hit them.
Slacker Nostalgia. I think I just snorted.
