Mama-Don't take my Kodachrome.
Ask all the young people
what's a Kodachrome?

Answer 2

Kodachrome, I gotta high speed camera. Yep, I like Paul Simon a whole lot.

My favorite is the song, "Call me Al." Good dance tune.

Some of these answers are cracking me up.

EDIT: Hey, somebody added something to their answer that wasn't there when I answered this question. I guess when you told them what you meant, he went back and edited. Good for him. He will win.

Answer 3

I also recognized the song. School at any age is what you make of it. I majored in science and math because it interested me along with a couple of foreign languages. School was my passion and it has always served me well. I still take classes from time to time. At the moment it is Yoga and in about 10 days it will be a hiking trip into the Sierras to look at some caves. Classes come in many forms when you are 70 and still like to study.

Answer 4

I recognized the lyrics immediately. And now looking back, a learned quite a bit education wise, but feel if it would have been a better student teacher ratio I could have learned more.(big school) But man, did I ever learn a lot of crap from my peers, and some teachers. Yet that has helped me throughout life, I know more about who to trust, who's telling lies, and what a hypocrite is.

Answer 5

This was not in high school but so help me I remember a teacher telling us in grade school in the forties that a person could never count to a million or that a man could not go to the moon. He would be an old man before he got back to earth and most likely would die before he returned. So much for crap.

Answer 6

Wow, I can't believe all the people who missed the point.
Yeah, Paul Simon, great song:~)
It's a wonder I can think at all

Answer 7

Crap like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. I agree that much of high school was crap. However I learned alot and it gave me a foundation in many things. I was offered three scholarships I didn't even apply for when I graduated, one for a full four years including housing, books and all. I accepted none of them because I have never agreed with teaching methods. I went on to read a library's worth of books and probably have the equivalent of several college degrees. That those degrees and that knowledge is undocumented and unaccepted is proof of the downfall of our teaching methods.

Answer 8

I always thought the kodachrome was a code word for the color burst archived from taking LSD.
Go Figure !!

Answer 9

I majored in Chemistry in high school. Got the equivalent of an associate's degree and had five companies bidding for my services as a lab tech after graduation. So, it wasn't crap to me. Plus, my high school was filled with my intellectual peers. You had to have an I.Q. of 120 or above and take competitive exams for entry, even though it was a public high school. The link below is for the school's web site. I sort of envy those who attend it now. In my day it was boys only.

Answer 10

Well dang....I graduated almost 40 years ago, LOL, OMG!!!
I have a college degree, actually 2 of them, when I applied for a job here in Charleston I presented my transcripts as well as my degrees.. Would you believe that they wanted my HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA! This isn't something that is in the schools fingertips exactly, they have to dig for it or take a picture of it transcribed on some prehistoric rock,
