Finishing School
I once was asked to provide a reference on someone I knew and said it was my considered view, “He escaped charm school a semester early.”
The recipient of that bit of obscurity laughed and nodded his head knowingly. It was an effective communication.
He passed on the man and a couple of years later told me the guy had turned out to be a disaster, but somebody else’s disaster.
That comment makes me think about another kind of school — Finishing School.
I have some equally pithy and direct advice.
