Louisiana's “First to Geaux” initiative to recognize first-generation students

[Boomer]

I was the First to Geaux in my family. My grandfather urged me to get an education. He didn't graduate high school, he farmed for a good portion of his life He understood the importance of education. Unfortunately, this lesson isn't being taught to many of our young people today.

………Ok I finally have an example of people leaving out the preposition which in the past were always used….”he didn’t graduate high school”…….where is the from? I’m not picking on the post but just wondering where or how it got started!

Ultimately Boomer, in this case leaving out the preposition "from" is a huge time saver and peace keeper.

If you say "from" they then want to know from where? Which high school didn't you graduate from? Which high school didn't your daddy graduate from? By the way, who is your daddy? Who were his teachers, was he a farmer. Where you from? And that often ends with.. "My momma."

.... and everybody storms off.
