I sit in a colorful cafeteria, on an uncomfortable, circular, plastic chair, in equally uncomfortable company. All around, a laughing, energetic, and happy mess of people moves in and out of focus, as my eyes try to take in this surreal sight. The air of excitement clashes bitterly with my indifference. After walking through the doors ten minutes

See? They're dragging his intellect down.

Naw, but a bit elitist in this post, are we?

Or,

elitist

I would have to say no, 'we' are not a bit elitist in this post. I was simply sharing my experience and views, or, in other words, writing in my journal. Sorry it bothered you.

Oh, come on, you two. Robert, shame on you for provoking him, and Logan, shame on you for taking the bait.

[daemonmann]

i didnt provoke anything
all i was doing was commending a friend on their writing, much like i have done for yours.
i fail to see where i was provoking anyone

[covetthebeauty]

Logan you need to get down off your sassy horse.

No, actually, you are being elitist. I don't care, since I'm an elitist about shit, too, but dammit, read:

" ..I am not like any of these people. And to be perfectly honest, I'm also too smart. I can be around stupid people for a fair amount of time, but sharing a class with them is not something that I can handle. You are automatically brought down to the level of the stupidest person in the class, and that's too stupid for me..."

And i'm not provoking him, it's nothing against him as a person.

If you'd scroll up and check the definitions, you'll find yourself wrong. I do not believe that I deserve any better treatment simply because I feel I'm too smart for the class I was taking. And I was too smart, I looked through the book we were doing and I've already done it. There is absolutely nothing elitist about what I said.

Uhm....

Uh, believing you deserve favored treatment because you're smarter -- as in not working with the "stupider kids" who are too slow, and you can't "be around stupid people for too long" sounds like you think you deserve favored treatment because of perceived superiority, as in intellect -- so, yeah, I'd have to save it's 100% elitist bullshit, and that it wouldn't be a problem if you could just admit that.

[houseoftheholyz]

Well, yes. I have the oppertunity to choose whether or not I stay and work with them. It is not affecting anyone else if I stay in school or leave school. I give myself favored treatment, yes, but that's the extent of it. I am not asking the stupider kids to change the way they learn, I just chose to leave because I had that option. I was not infringing on anyone else's right to their education or expecting any sort of favored treatment.
