[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg, this thread is nuts. You guys are acting like B/C grades are failure.  WTH![/quote]

I don't think a B or C here or there on a high school transcript is a tragedy. Sure it may blow your chances at an ivy, but going to flagship state u isn't tragic either. But being a pure B/C student -- yeah I do think that's failure. Sorry the educational system just is NOT that tough and everyone knows it. If you're getting solidly B/Cs it's bc you're either goofing off (which is a fixable situation - often those kids do better in college studying what they actually want; they're the charismatic types who are better off in sales, starting businesses, and in other people oriented fields) OR you just don't get it -- in which case, good luck.

I think all the -- I was a C student and am now a CEO or make $500k or whatever is nonsense. I mean YES it does happen, but statistically it is very very unlikely to happen. So I don't understand why the parents of these kids count on these stories -- just bc it worked out for 1% doesn't mean the other 99% don't end up as retail managers, working at car dealerships etc.[/quote]
