Chelsea, while I am not a brain surgeon, something you should spell correctly when criticizing others' literacy is to spell "literate" correctly. :/

I suppose the cheerleaders were not the brightest group. Not necessarily the prettiest— but invariably athletic, tomboyish, rarely intellectual, often somewhat gregarious. (A lot of makeup, surgery to mask that these days.) Not the sort I would entrust with any weighty executive duties. Among the atheletes you do get some more litterate types, though, but chances are they will suffer learning trauma from the athletics culture. As a late-bloomer, I discovered that you can have both when certain preconception training is erased. The education system is a dud. We are forced to follow through with the perceived steriotyping just to cope.

What puzzles me is how the maths and business majors end up with all the cute geeks... Wouldn't they be more suited for the wallflowers? Oh, well! C'est la vie, I guess.
