When I was in grade school, teachers tried to frightened us into submission by telling us that not only our grades but also every misdeed we perpetrated would become part of our permanent school records and that those records would follow us for the rest of our lives. College admissions officers and prospective employers, they said, would be justified in dismissing our applications when they read the awful truth about our behavior in the sixth or seventh grade.
Has anybody ever seen any of those permanent records?
What a crock that was. But we bought it.
