wow, that kid is amazing!

still can't get that waterfall 🙁 but nice rack, though..hehe..

Unless my sarcasm meter is broken...

There's nothing to it. The idea is that it's hard to notice the waterfall when you have that rack in the foreground.
 
I see the waterfall! Finally!

The baby is amazing... almost unbelievable... gotta be at least particially 'chopped.
 
I didn't see any waterfall. I was staring for 5 minutes!!

BTW: for those who don't read Korean, those funny symbols near the upper right on his notes say, "een sah" which basically means, "greeting" or "salutation" in Korean.

I was about to sign his guest book and ask him a bunch of questions like

1. Are you proud of having your social health severly damaged?
2. Does your bird have a nest?
3. How many people do you think you're better than?

I hope they can open up the voucher system. This would be a great case to lay some foundations. Vouchers would be very beneficial for many students that I know.

i dont get the baby picture.

Neither did I at first.

Look at the "negative space" inside the picture. Framed by the trees. The head is to your right, the feet to your left.
 
Complain, complain, complain. What I want to know, is why the articles don't mention the kid being turned down for scholarships. If he's as bright as claimed, there shouldn't be a problem getting some money that way. I know a few people who did bachelor degrees for minimal cost thanks to that. Is there some age restriction I'm not aware of? I thought scholarships were based on academic and racial factors primarily.
 
Interesting, but I think the mother should stop whining. I believe the kid is only entitled to a free primary education. If he wants to attend college(no matter what age or talent) he needs to pay just like everyone else.

But the state of California is obliged to pay for California residents to go to college, as far as I know, and the only reason they're not paying for Levi to attend is because he's young.

That's what I got from it, and if that is the case, then the mother has a perfectly valid argument.

No, it's that the state of California is obligated to provide education up to the end of a secondary level (high school), just like everywhere else in north america. Public elementary and high schools have to allow free access to any eligible kids who want to attend. Post-secondary education like college are still done on your own dime. I think there are places in Europe that offer free college or university education, but only to top students in the class, or only with an agreement that costs will be paid back in some way upon completion of education. I could be wrong of course.

What Travis' mother is trying to argue is that since her son is of the age when he should still be attending the public school system, the state should foot the bill for his post-secondary education. The fact that he's graduated from it (and thus fulfilled the state's obligation for freely provided education) seems to be irrelevant to her. It's exactly like arguing that the state should pay for her sending her kid to an age-appropiate private school.
