My sister-in-law regards me as a ne’er-do-well. She’s not far off the mark, I’ve led a prodigal’s life, while she’s worked for the CIA under George Bush and led a an exemplary suburban life as a working mother and wife. My brother and she have raised two good kids. Smarter than me and this Spring her son applied to the top Ivy Colleges.
With great grades, outstanding SATs, and a well-rounded extra-curricular career, my nephew seemed a lock except Harvard, Yale, and the lesser universities sent rejection notices. This blanking didn’t make sense and I asked his mother, “Why didn’t you call George Bush to get him into Yale?”
“I couldn’t do that.” She had scruples as an honest accountant.
“Maybe you can’t, but I can at Princeton.” A Palm Beach friend had bought Penn a medical wing. It was worth a shot and I said, “I’ll make a phone call.”
“Anything will help.” Her voice revealed that she hadn’t much hope.
“You never know.” I couldn’t promise anything, however a week later my nephew was accepted into Penn’s pre-med program. My sister-in-law was grateful, although I was a little surprised at her saying, “You must be good sex.”
Sometimes I am, although not in this case.
The Palm Beach heiress was strictly a friend, and my friends scratch each other’s backs when necessary wthout explanation to the rest of the world.
Straight and narrow people don’t understand our lives, especially since the following are the questions school kids face when trying to get into school in the UK.
For the unaware, there is a slight difference between private schools and comprehensives in Britain.
The Department of Education has realised this and has revised the secondary Maths Exam papers accordingly.
Attached are the most recent maths exam papers for your reference.
