Summary
An exploration of why some children, despite their intelligence, may not be suited for, or interested in, higher education. Although many parents feel pressured to have their children continue their post-high-school education, the author points out that many successful adults (including Harry S. Truman, Thomas Edison, William Faulkner, and Bill Gates) did not graduate from college.
