[quote]In this generation

The College standard will become the new high school standard going forward.

As many elementary and middle school students historically carry “straight As”; so too, is this tendency creeping into our high schools. I’m afraid grade inflated high school grade point averages and moronic worshipping of SAT/ACT scores ( middle school academic standard for the 21st century) as some measure of high, university academic/ educational/ intellectual achievement will relegate college and undergraduate education to the new high school standard in this century.[/quote]

[b]Yup, the money you are paying for at Harvard or Yale College is not necessarily for a better education (this and better can be had at scores of other institutions) but for a social network assuming you belong and are accepted by that network when your undergraduate years are long over![[/b]/quote]

But if the rich, legacy kids are not getting in who are you networking with? Other high GPA middle class kids whose parents are not CEOs, lawmakers, old money. Etc. [/quote]

The rich kids are getting in in droves.[/quote]
