To the Kenyan families, school doesn't really matter because none of them are going on to college. Almost all of drop out of school and so, they're spending their time learning things that are important to them.
I never went to college - I barely got out of high school.
I tried to go to college, I barely got out of high school.
My advice to myself and to everyone else, particularly young people, is to turn on, tune in and drop out.
College wasn't for us. We just didn't have the attention span.
Children don't drop out of high school when they are 16, they do so in the first grade and wait 10 years to make it official.
Marco Rubio's presidential campaign has raised $40 million in the last week. When he heard that, Rubio said, 'Hey, any chance I can drop out of the race and just keep the 40 million?'
I didn't go to college.
I didn't go to the 12th grade... I stopped at 11.
I went to seven colleges. I was a professional transfer student. I had to drop out 'cause I couldn't see out the back window.
I got what I needed out of Princeton in 1 year, and I didn't think it was useful.
My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.
You come from a country which industrialized early and which succeeded in incorporating the great majority of its citizens into the middle classes. It is no social distinction in the U.S. to have graduated from the second year of college. Indeed, most Americans now do. Anybody in this the United States who did not finish high school is considered underprivileged. In Latin America the situation is quite different: 75% of all people drop out of school before they reach the sixth grade. Thus, people who have finished high school are members of a tiny minority. Then, a minority of that minority goes on for university training. It is only among these people that you will find your educational equals… a middle class in the United States is the majority. In Mexico, it is a tiny elite.
Mom, thanks for letting me drop out of high school. Haha!
It's a completely irrational decision to drop out of school.
I'm not educated. I left school when I was 16, with no qualifications.
What we didn't realize then - and one of the many things Timothy Leary was wrong about - is that when you drop out, you inevitably also drop in.
I never expected to leave college early-especially after just one year.
I do think that some of us began to realize that this was going to be a long struggle that was going to go on for decades, and you'd have to knuckle down. A lot of people in our generation did that. They didn't drop out and run away.
Actions which are conscious expressions of the turn-on, tune-in, drop-out rhythm are religious.The wise person devotes his life exclusively to the religious search - for therein is found the only ecstasy, the only meaning. Anything else is a competitive quarrel over (or Hollywood-love sharing of) studio props.
I went to the University of Life and was chucked out.
You see, I became kind of a drop-out in science after I came back to America.
I didn't graduate high school.
I never had good grades until I dropped out of religion. And then suddenly, my grades went up.
I went through high school, but I didn't graduate.
