Opportunity school

[hobbes]

Sorry, Hobbes, i know for a fact opportunity knocks many times.

But which time is the last?

That is why one must assume that it knocks but once. It may knock several times for one, but only once for another.

A drop-out teenager needs to grasp every chance at redemption and not be enouraged to think that they will be mysteriously bailed out at some point in the future.

The world does not exist to provide opportunity for the individual, it couldn't careless. Opportunities are a rare event that allow one to further himself, and each occurance is precious.

I see no help in telling a dysfunctional teen to lay back and wait for all the many second chances to passively come his way.

Actually, you are quite right of course....if a little sanctimonious this evening

You are right.

Where did i mention laying back????

Encouragement???

You clearly misunderstand me, but that seems to be the thang lately.



Go, Zigs, go.



Edit: As i see it, an opportunity is mostly created by one self.

No one told me to take care of (real) disfunctional teens. Yet i did.

No one told me to go run a store. Yet i did.

No one told or offered me to go train horses and their owners.

Yet there lies a big opportunity for me there.

Etc.


And I thought you actually were one of the few who actually reads my posts.....



I've seen too many people confuse opportunities with high hopes.


And calling Ziggy disfunctional; now that really helps!!!! :crying:


Zigs needs direction in a way that keeps him motivated, instead of other

people telling him what his direction should be.

I understood your post, no need for dramatics. I thought it downplayed the importance of THIS particular opportunity, which I did not think was a good thing to do. It's a discussion board, people will disagree, I can live with that.

My point in making that quip, was that this kid is being offered a chance to get back into school and this is the cruicible which will determine the rest of his life.

All the high school dropout I know are still waiting tables and parking cars. This does not make them bad people but they are sort of locked into their low income, month to month existances.

I think it is crucial that ziggy understand that this IS the fork in the road in his life. I've been there, witnessed that. Exceptional people can overcome taking the high school drop out route, but the average man is best advised to finish highschool and continue to learn a specialized skill.

I agree.

Good luck, I hope it works well for you and you enjoy it.

Opportunity knocks but once.

But the postman always rings twice.

Ziggy, this school is for retards that would rather be a dummass than go to school.

Have fun working at wallmart all your life you dumbass.

No it isn't, you gypsy, it's a second chance kind of thing as far as I can understand it, it's meant to put people back on track.

And btw, your spelling sucks baws.
