It seems government schools aren't about pursuing excellence.
Marquis Harris is a real inspiration.
Key passage:
Recently, I interviewed with a school in one of the metro Atlanta counties, only to receive an e-mail from the principal stating, "Though your qualifications are quite impressive, I regret to inform you that we have selected another candidate. It was felt that your demeanor and therefore presence in the classroom would serve as an unrealistic expectation as to what high school students could strive to achieve or become. However, it is highly recommended that you seek employment at the collegiate level; there your intellectual comportment would be greatly appreciated. Good luck."
A real live human being is an "unrealistic expectation". "People can't do these things. Don't expect to be like this guy. He's not really human. You need to emulate the janitor instead."
