I will talk to him about that De. Thanks..

His mother has her PHD now. He is a very quiet unassuming young man who is jacked up big time in his body build.
You can tell he has been training all winter and spring with the football team. He is no longer the thin lanky boy we once knew. He looks like a middle linebacker.

He was inducted into some national society for his grades and gpa and due to memory loss I cannot remember what that was.

But yes, you brought up a great point. This is a Catholic University he is attending playing D2 sports programs. There are no sideshow distractions at private Catholic Universities. So he is getting a good 4 year education.

I will talk with him about getting a higher advanced degree for that very reason of teaching at University level. Public High Schools are becoming national zoos. My daughter really dislikes the lack of courtesy and plenty of disrespect by the high school brats she teaches in her advanced sciences classes. The parents of these eggheads are the main reason little monsters act like they do because there are no consequences for bad behavior or refusing to do assignments .

Re: “My grandson will graduate college one full year ahead of schedule, with over a 4.0 GPA while playing on the university he attends mens football team, D2 competition. He wants to be a History teacher and will mostly next year be doing lots of student teaching.. I hope this is what he really wants.”The teaching experience and high GPA are qualities 6-year Ph.D. programs want. You might want to encourage your grandson to consider going that route. If he gets a Ph.D. he can be hired to teach at the University level instead of Intermediate or High School, and if he prefers Intermediate or High School, he'll be a candidate for School Principal after a few years. The degree opens doors. Should he decide after two years that he doesn't want to continue pursuing it, he can still drop out and leave with a Masters degree paid for by the University he was in. Ph.D. programs even pay their students a few bucks - which is only fair since they're essentially slave laborers while they're there. Joey is paid something like $36,000 annually now. That's chicken feed considering California expenses and the hours he's putting in, but it's better to get that money from the school than to have to pay it TO the school while pursuing a Masters degree, right?

It's something to think about.

Joey's roommate and best friend from UVA went to Cambridge for a year and came back with a Master's degree. That's a pretty good program! He's now at UCLA, also looking for a Ph.D. His focus is Math. While the friend graduated from UVA when Joey did, he's now a year ahead thanks to Cambridge's one-year Master's degree and UCLA's 4-year Ph.D. I doubt there were many UVA roommates with brighter futures than those two.
