Read "Education for Losers - Memoirs of a Dunce" by Joe Dullerson. You get nothing with a college... Education for Losers

After going to this site, I'm presented with a book (see attachment below.) detailing the negative experiences of a pupil from 1952 to 1965. The author is Joe Dullerson, a Scot from Glasgow describing his education at Glasgow High School and Aberdeen University. He says he

embarked on a non-career of dropout, supply teacher, failed academic and teacher of English as a foreign language. (Tefler)

Don't know too much more about the books contents. However, I don' feel too compelled to buy the book. There are opportunity takers and time wasters in this world. I have very fond memories of my school days. Whilst they were strict, looking back now they have made me into a better person today. I was an opportunity taker.

According to Joe Dullerson, he received bottom of the barrel education from Glasgow High School and Aberdeen University. I wonder if he could have made a better go of his school days? I find it hard to comprehend that not only his schooling days, but his English teaching days was a waste of time in his eyes.
