[quote=Anonymous]I think my sons with school accommodations will far exceed the 4.0's of the world. If you are a good manager (which actually may be your issue) you will find each intern has strengths and weeknesses.

Let's say Joe hands in his proposal for a contract, it is exactly what you asked for, it is well written with no mistakes. He meets with the client who loves the proposal but hates Joe. He lacks personality, he does not seem like a risk taker (even calculated ones) and he rubs everybody the wrong way.

Todd on the other hand had an okay proposal, it was, like a B minus. A few mistakes and it took him 2 days to get it to you instead of 1.5. The client loves Todd, he as gret leadership qualities, the team loves him, he had great suggestions the client didn't even think about and wold love to try some of the out of the box ideas. Actually, looking back, the proposal took longer to generate because the content is better than Joes, just not structured well and it had some grammar and spelling issues. You realize Todd actually spent the whole night doing research on the area, ended up a little hyper focused and read about some interesting new trends.

Joe did what he was told, like most 4.0s. Todd did what he thought he should (which is why teachers hate him).

You know what happens next. 4.0 joe becomes a contracts writer and Todd becomes an account manager. Joe is told not to talk to the client. Todd ends up getting hired by the client.[/quote]
