PhotoVerio #742: Thank You, Donald

________________________________________________________________________________________________

In 2005, I worked for 
a tutoring service
that mandated the first session
begin with a thirty-minute
practice SAT test

I had a student in
Palos Verdes
and used part of that 
testing period to 
photographically survey
the neighborhood
 
The best of the photographs
proved to be a golf course,
 
Never before
—and never since—
did I utter the words
Thank you, Donald

  1. How did that student fare on the SAT?

    1. The student fared terribly, which was bad news
      unless you owned Kaplan Tutoring Services.

      The student went through 4 tutors
      (and 4 semesters) before he was accepted to
      the University of DaddysGot BigBux.

      However, this was a fairly common practice
      when a company paid their tutors
      $15 an hour
