[quote=walterwhite]My kid took an ap human geography class last year. I don’t remember that being offered in my youth. Some kids today know a he’ll of a lot of geography by hs. I learned a bit studying w him in starbucks for the ap test. Interesting. Human geography. Have your high schooler check it out. We got a four on the ap test. Well I guess technically he got a four.[/quote]

Scaredy, do you have one of those “My kid is an honor student at XXX School” bumper stickers on your car? He sounds awesome….or, at the least, that he could have the potential to be self-supporting as an adult.

Incidentally, a significant accomplishment AND source of parental pride these days.

.002 cents per KB doesn’t sound believable, at that rate a GIGABYTE of download would cost only $21 :D[/quote]
Pretty funny comment, given that the subject matter is innumeracy:

0.2 cents per KB
= $0.002 per KB
= $2 per MB
= $2,000 per GB

(yeah, I know 1 MB = 1,024 KB)
