According to the same book,
this is the list of expensive schools
Brian flunked out of, one by one:
I don't feel so bad now about Stephy, my talented Daughter of Doom.
You see, she also flunked out of preschool!
If they had had "learning disabled" classes in the 1930's, I'm sure that's where Brian would have been, just like Stephy ~ unless his parents would have kicked up a fuss about the stigma of it all. *sigh*
Sometimes kids who are labelled "learning disabled" are actually simply existing on a different, yet equal (or higher) level than the rest of the kids. Just look at Einstein.
In any case, flunking nursery school/preschool is an accomplishment of an entire different sort!
