Based on our interactions, I have a sense of the topics you tend to explore. You seem to have a deep interest in historical and legal analysis, often examining topics such as Roman history, biblical literature, and pivotal moments in U.S. constitutional law.
You also frequently dive into science and the natural world, with questions ranging from theoretical physics and astrophysics to oceanographic mechanics. Beyond that, you stay informed on geopolitics and military history, and you occasionally look for information regarding local figures in Alabama.

Seriously, education is a mess in so many school systems. We spent a lot of money on private and Catholic schools so we could stay in our neighborhood. Many folks moved to find acceptable public schools. I’m a fan of both creativity and plain old rote larnin’.
plain old rote larnin’ of material enables one to advance on their own. The other way around does not work.
