    All; I don't think high school dropouts are dumb at all. But if Congress is using that to discredit Snowden it suggests THEY claim to.

        @emptywheel dropping out speaks to more than just intelligence though. Shows lack of focus, problem with structure.

        @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.

        @emptywheel you'd have to dumb to think the only reason for dropping out of school is stupidity. Could many varied reasons.

        @emptywheel Not surprising. Congress is full of student body president asskissers. Public schools LOVE those kinds of kids.
