[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting into college is not the same thing as staying in college much less graduating. Unless the colleges are really dumbing down the material I’m not seeing the woefully unqualified lasting very long.

Grade inflation is real but thinking that a kid with a 4.0 is going to fail out of college because they're coming from a big public high school is a stretch.[/quote]

They probably won't fail out but they will have to major in something easy and far less marketable, at best they will have a lower A or B GPA instead of a tippy top Latin honors GPA. They are shunned from the smart kid study groups. Employers will be able to tease out they're below par.

I've seen it for 20 years. The "all A's" over-confident arrogant public school kids tell everyone he or she's going to become a surgeon or engineer. By the end of first semester pre-med or engineering ---> sociology or political science.[/quote]

I’ve got news for you, none of that matters as much as you think it does (and approximately none of what you wrote is true). “Smart kid study groups” WTF[/quote]
