I was in high school between 1976 and 1981. I did wonderfully well in arts and communications classes. Did fine in modern dance class. Well in English. Most of the rest of it, I skipped classes. I was in an inner-city school and it was the 70's. No one did a thing when I skipped school. I had better ways to occupy my time than to sit in between 4 grey walls...hang out in the library, read, read, read...do art work, head downtown and observe people, write.
I still don't know how to do math past multiplication and a little bit of division.
I went to community college for some years. Did great in writing classes, art classes, psychology classes, anthro. And I really enjoyed studying ancient history and the history of the U.S.
Mostly, I'm pretty well self-educated.
