A good deal of troublemakers in the past turned out to be intelligent individuals that refused to fit into a mold designed by the Education system that was years behind the times.
One that is NOT motivated by a grading system and gold stars that are taken from the 1950’s has integrity and insight into there own values and ways of learning.
Presently Educators now know better and different alternative schools and ways of teaching are offered.
I viewed a Comedian who announced a story about his life as a troublemaker in schools “Mike MacDonald” a famous comedian who stated that his High School Principal decided to humiliate him in class by saying” An what do you think that your life career will be in a few years? Do you think that being funny will get you far in life?”
Many years later with Mike MacDonald on stage just says“Ta Dah” ...to a roaring crowd of his fans on a comedy special.
Perhaps people ARE fated for a type of career and he is an example of this.
Lots of famous people especially Celebrities in Acting,Music, Comedy and Athletic.
Not everyone fits into a mold designed for one type of Career field.
