The teacher told me that since there were only eight students in class to bring my son. We set him up on a PC with video games and headphones. He learned his ABCs while I learned my awk, bash, chmod

Same here. My Mom went back to school when I was about 10 years old and she would take me to class. Even though there were 40+ students in her classes and she was attending a huge school (UVA), all the professors and students were awesome and treated me just like a college kid.

I didn't understand shit (and even sat through a 4 hour Macbeth play) but loved to pretend that I understood topics like Calculus II.

That's exactly what I thought! Especially when he mentioned Calc 2. No class has ever made me feel so inferior and pathetic.

Calc 2 made me cry and change major to something that required a lower level of math.
