I know tell me about it.
iPads dont fit in pockets.
Can you imagine me walking around with an ipad. Everyone would be like -“there goes Steve on City Data again, that guy needs to get a life”

I dont know the schools are better than W Hartford. Most college grads of both will end up as spreadsheet jockeys in Corp America. Jobs orangutans can do. Even Darien and New Canaan publics aren’t doing anything soooo special believe me they ain’t.

Ok that’s enough City Data for the night. I’m getting tired of having to edit on an iPhone mini keyboard. This thing drives me crazy.
There you go again, belittling a good education. The fact is you don’t know where the next great idea or important people will come from.

Timothy George Massad (born July 30, 1956) served as the chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Assistant Secretary for Financial Stability at the United States Department of the Treasury under President Barack Obama. He graduated from Darien High School.

Martha Peterson Shogi, is a former operations officer of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). She went to Darien High School too.

Former Congressman Chris Shays graduated from Darien High School.

Award winning filmmaker Gus Van Sant went to Darien High School as well.

Ann Coulter, conservative social and political commentator, graduated from New Canaan High School.

Noted Mathematician Jacob Fox went to Hall High School in West Hartford.

American scientist, pediatrician, and advocate in the fields of global health, vaccinology, and neglected tropical disease control Peter Hotez also went to Hall High School.

Jessica Rosenworcel, Commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission went to Hall High School in West Hartford.

Justin R. Clark, Director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs went to Conard High School in West Hartford.

Seth Waxman, Solicitor General of the United States also went to Conard.

Steve Jobs went to a public school, Homestead High School in Cupertino, California. Mark Zuckerburg went to Ardsley High School in Westchester. Jeff Bezos went to Miami Palmetto High School.

Heck Tennis Greats James Blake and Thomas Blake, as well as Rock Star John Mayer went to my high school,,Warde in Fairfield.

None of these are “Spreadsheet Jockeys” or doing jobs “orangutans could do”.

The point is a good education is the basis of many a great things and the above public schools have done their job creating leaders who made their marks on the world. It belittles their accomplishments to belittle their schooling. So stop. It’s more a reflection on you than their schools.

Yes and how could leave out Bill Woodward from Hartford. MIT and worked on the Manhattan Project.
Supreme Court judge Sam Tedesco from Bridgeport and of course Hall of Famer Calvin Murphy from Norwalk.
All pro tight end Aaron Hernandez and the current Toronto Blue Jays starting center fielder hail from Bristol.
The Carpenter siblings Karen and Rich were New Haven natives.

Highlighting exceptionally bright geniuses, Big Tech entrepreneurs, pro athletes, performance artists or just simpletons born with the gift of gab (Coulter, Shay’s) is fine I guess.
The rest, 98% who go on to graduate from college, will refresh pivot tables at Henkel. That’s perfectly fine and means they reached max potential.

This is not accurate. Plenty of locals shop on the ave.
