Impromptu debates were of absolutely no interest to these individuals. I don't know how many times we heard he was badly outnumbered and in trouble again, and a bunch of us had to run to extract him from situations that might well otherwise have ended in sound beatings. Here was a 4.0 student who, when repeatedly confronted with a real-world problem involving his own personal safety, couldn't think his way out of a wet paper bag.[/QUOTE]
