rubbing it in

Am I the only one who finds this letter presumptuous and indelicate?

While generating a list of alumni with graduate degrees, I noticed that you have not informed the College of an advanced degree. If you have obtained any advanced degrees, please provide this information so we may keep your record up to date.

You need to send me the degree, year, school and major.

Thank you, in advance, for this information.

"After going through 15 intense years of deschooling, I have reached an advanced degree of consciousness."

You are probably not the only one. But I don't share this sentiment, my bigot.

Advanced degree? Nah. I get my advanced schooling by listening to Mises Institute lectures online...
