[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents of slacker kids love to cling to the delusional outlook that their low-achieving kids are [i]sooooo[/i] charismatic when one, they're almost always not, and two, there are plenty of kids who are both charismatic AND high-achieving. What a sad, retrograde and ignorant outlook on not only professional recruiting but life in general to suggest being lazy somehow implies a superior personality. The opposite is almost always true; competitive, high-achieving kids put much more time into polishing their appearance and soft skills. There are [b]too many[/b] honors students at top colleges vying for good internship and job offers—there is no point in wasting time entertaining low-achieving kids.[/quote] Yeah, I must say that the "kids who get Cs are way more smart and successful than the stupid, grubber LOSERS with good grades!!!" thing is one of the dumbest internet tropes there is.
