"The children were free to explore, went to movies if they wished, could spend the day skateboarding, reading, or doing science experiments like making potato guns or rockets. Sometimes they spent prolonged hours online or at the library researching their current obsession and over the course of several years all became rogue learners, and eventually each one a success in a wide variety of fields. None of them had a degree, or even a high school diploma."

Members of a college class who are far older than the rest of the students.
These old-enough-to-be-your-parents aged classmates typically sit in the front of the class, arrive drastically early with noisome big-gulp sized iced coffees and tend to ask belaboring and basic questions.
Due to mass layoffs and a degree-demanding job market, these masses of Baby Boomers opt to return to college, starting from scratch alongside twenty-somethings.

A student who attends the beginning of class, but regularly takes off to "the bathroom" for ten-twenty minutes at a time, as if the backpack is going to do all the learning for him/her.
I always email my instructor at the last second to ask the most basic question because I'm a clueless backpack learner.

When you cum in a book, then close the book. You then give the book to a girl and have her open to the page you jizzed on. Then when she looks at the page, you slam the book in her face.
