Embarrassment IN Richness

   If some words are spoken in public and everyone pretends not to hear, were  the words  actually spoken? Apparently not if you consider the present, and probably all-time, Jeopardy champion contestant.
 Jeopardy has long championed the education system, and for years has drawn many, if not most, contestants from the teaching field, even holding special tournaments dedicated to teachers and educators. Alex rejoices when teachers describe how they use the Jeopardy format to enhance learning in their classrooms.
  But now, what has occurred? The most successful of contestants, when asked to what he attributed his vast store of knowledge---to what school, or teacher---answered to the contrary. Yes, he did. He said he HATED school, just relied upon reading on his own.  (Well, that ungrateful whelp!  I wonder where he went to school or college, and who taught him to read anyway.
