What grade are you in? Grades 4life
Sunday, August 08, 2004
After experiencing years in the education system, once we’re out of it, we have no idea how to mark the passing of time - until now. Introducing Grades 4Life!
Instead of asking, “How old are you?” you can ask someone “What grade are you in?” to which one can reply, “27th grade. You?” The grade would include a list of “to dos” before you can pass on to the next grade. In order to get out of 19th grade, for example, you need to know how to take care of your own taxes and have experience renting/owning property. That way, you can easily get a feeling for the person’s background more than you would be able to just from an age.
Maybe that way, we would have more rounded people, more balanced or at least know when they’re not all there…
Maybe certain communities could benenfit from the dating requirement. “You must have a t least gone on at least one date.” That’s to pass 18th grade. Perhaps asian parents would then encourage their kids to date instead of keeping them socially stunted by telling them that they can’t date until their done with medical school. I can just imagine them saying to their sons, “Must get ahead! Go date a girl now!” “But Mom! I’m only in 8th grade!” hehehe that’ll be the day…
Any suggestions for requirements per grade?
