Get the underground education mug.Any first name unfortunately bestowed upon a child that is shared with the name of a city, state, car or truck model, precious metal or stone, liquor, or a general word that indicates something of worth. Your child is destined to require Special Education if you make the unfortunate decision to name them one of these. Examples include, but are not limited to: London, Dakota (meets criteria of truck model and state), Platinum, Diamond, Courvoisier, or Treasure.

'Basic' is about as good as it gets for most victims forced as they are into mind-numbing boredom, despair and violence. Most schools are like open, juvenile prisons. Still, American state schools make every one of 'em look like Oxford!
