@emptywheel you think Snowden is so smart he got bored in HS? Crazy that NatSec structure is so bloated that clearance seems simple. -
@Judge_St3vo A close family member dropped out of college after helping lots of people get thru his CompSci major. He was bored, in part.

@emptywheel I think college is different than HS. More experience, slightly more mature. Dropping out of HS seems like an immature decision -

@emptywheel Public schools tend to be mean, insensitive and dismissive of really gifted kids. So many drop out. My ex was one. -
@riverdaughter The two smartest kids in my high school class dropped out weeks before graduation. -
@emptywheel Heck, my own resident smart kid is considering getting her GED and getting the hell out before her senior year.
