Eliscu2, I read back over the posts and I dont see that I avoided any question. I addressed your post. Maybe you intended something that wasnt there or expected a specific response. What you can try (and what I typically do when I am in your situation) is to rephrase the question or point out the question that was missed.
Interesting Trivia… 666 is also:
The sum of the digits from 1 thru 36….
And the only number to include all of the Roman numerals (under 1,000) in exact descending order….
DCLXVI.

Maybe this question?:

Do you think Elan is funny?

I don’t think Elan is funny but I do find it ironic that the school is named Elan. My understanding of the word is quite different than others. Elan is also a neurological event. Consider this phrase for a moment:
I was rejected vs. I was “in” rejected. By inserting the word “in” into the sentence it produces a stimuli "Early left anterior negativity"(ELAN) which stops the brain from understanding the sentence because it doesn’t make sense. This abrupt stoppage of the brain is what causes the ELAN. Eventually your brain will adapt. But it will adapt to something different.
In understanding language the brain steps thru as follows:
1. Group of individual words
2. Word order
3. Spoken words (orally or thru thought)
4. Then understanding. (cognitive thought)
If you screw with the “word order” then the brain emits an ELAN (Neurological response) and the brain cannot move forward with its processing of the sentence and is subsequently derailed. Word order is a prerequisite to understanding and relying on the rules.
Maybe this was the underlying premise of the school? To change the way you view the world thru constant manipulation of the rules until the broken rules feel normal. Once the brain is in a state of ELAN there is a very short window of opportunity to alter its perception and to have it follow a new set of rules. These rules may or may not be consistent with the rules society has defined as normal.
Something to think about.

This is exactly why I am glad your here, because you get it where others don't.
Thanks for that intellectual tidbit on "Elan".
Seriously.....
