the folder episode...

I have a math course i've been taking nights, It's in a lecture hall that gradually rises, and I generally sit towards the top. Every class period my prog passes around a folder that is alphebetical, your supposed to take out your work that has been graded, initial next to your name on the attendance sheet that is on the cover and pass it to the next person. From where I sit i can watch it go throughout the room. Somehow, it always gets screwed up. (BTW there are two sections of the room, a right and left half, it goes up the right, down the left, or vice versa) so i'm watching it get close to me lastnight and the guy that is a row in front of me and to my right hands it up to me instead of the person next down his row. (i guess he was too lazy to walk that far) so now i have to decide which way to p[ass it cause the people on my level haven;t got it, nor has the people to the left and below me, and it has to make it to the right side of the room. so i hand it to the girl a ways down on my left and tell her it has to go down a row and back up. I watch it go down, then i watch it keep going down to the bottom row, where it sits. My point to this is really a question. How do people screw up something so simple, then they screw up the simplest directions..... and these people will be college graduates one day

The reason why I don't associate pieces of paper with smarts, whether book smarts or 'street smarts', doesn't matter to me...general lack of sense

Because they can get good grades in Astonomical Physics, but not in Common Sense. None of the students where i work have Common Sense either.

They'll do just fine doing their little calculations 18 hours a day in whatever mundane job they end up settling into... It's the trip to and from work that they'll have to worry about.
