Because Ad Monkeys Really Should Start Early

iam-high-logo.jpg

The New York City Department of Education has approved the first-ever advertising and media public high school: The High School for Innovation in Advertising and Media. For short it will be called I.AM High, which … speaks for itself. (Are you guys fucking kidding?)

I.AM High School will be situated with two other small high schools on the Canarsie High School campus. For the next several months it will be recruiting students and staff, developing a curriculum, and building outreach.

The school’s mission is to equip students for ad and media careers with a strong portfolio and “an impressive resume.” (Printing I.AM High, 4.0 under “High school education” — guaranteed whiplash effect.)

Psychologists say the reason so many people want divorce after retirement isn’t that they’ve changed — it’s that work was the structure that made an incompatible marriage look functional

Research suggests that quiet charisma isn’t about being mysterious or playing hard to get — it’s about being so secure in yourself that you don’t need to fill every silence or explain every choice, and that self-possession is what people find irresistible

Children raised in cold houses don’t grow up to be cold people — they grow up to be the warmest people in every room they enter because they decided very young that nobody else should ever feel the way they felt and they have been making good on that decision ever since at enormous personal cost
