    Oh geeze, that brought back an unpleasant memory. Back when I was doing Matriculation (in Australia), if you were close to passing in an individual exam at the end of the year you were granted a Supplementary exam. I had a Supp for Chemistry. In the final exam, the main Inorganic question was on lead, properties, reactions with acids etc., which I didn't answer very well. So, when studying for the Supp, I revised all the Inorganic curriculum except lead, thinking it wouldn't appear twice. Well, I was wrong & that's why I did not pass Matric Chemistry back in 1963

    I was such a technophobe that I didn't want to check my final marks online, even though they were released the day before the posted/mailed ones. My mum is still not happy with me making her wait another day, but she got me back by dragging me down to the school after opening the mail, because she thought I was really upset I didn't get the mark I was expecting (I was a little disappointed, but moved on easily, she was the one who thought it would mean I would miss out on uni).

    Sometimes they want a college degree to prove that you are capable of learning at a certain level and so can learn what they need to teach you. Law school admissions are very much like that and so are many jobs.

    I remember being in absolute "culture shock" when my mom made me start college at age 14. I went from seeing all of my teachers in elementary school and middle school either wear dresses or full-length skirts and blouses (for the female teachers) or full-on suits or a button-up shirt and tie (for the male teachers) to taking an "introduction to philosophy" class in my first semester in college - and the teacher walked in wearing a Hawaiian shirt, board shorts, and flip-flops with a Gandalf-class beard and long white hair tied back in a ponytail with a strip of leather XD And yes, some of my college profs did wear more formal clothing, but the vast majority of them were super laid-back in both appearance and attitude, like OP describes above XD
