Tallulah's future alma mater

Today, driving past Booker High School, the marquis read "Determined to Make the Grade." Its just vague enough to be a goal, isn't it? We're determined to make... you know, a grade. Maybe something in a 'D'.
A 'D' is nice.

I might be a little sensitive to the signage at Booker, since Tallulah is zoned to go there for high school. And since they're the people whose marquis brought us gems like "Degenerate" and "Melancholy" for their "word of the week". Maybe before Tallulah starts high school, I'll go over and slip some Zoloft in the gin-laced coffee cup of whoever makes the marquis decisions.

On the other hand, it does make all those schools that talk about 'excellence' and 'achievement' seem a bit overzealous.
