[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not supposed to be a culling system.

If you can get an A you should get an A.

Even if you don't like it GPA no matter how hard the school is the greatest predictor of college success.[/quote]

I've also seen studies, and a recent Wall Street Journal article this month, that say the opposite. Also, what constitutes college success? DS is currently in advanced physics and calculus courses at a top 20 university but he will get a B in those courses. His cousins, will both graduate from college with nearly straight A's but they refuse to take any math or science courses because of the tough grading. One is majoring in illustration, the other in education.  I guess, they are "doing better" in college, but are they really?[/quote]
Ok but why does someone need to be doing “better” and someone doing worse? What are you getting out of keeping score like that? Your nieces are getting great grades in subject areas that presumably interest them/that they enjoy, same with your son. Why the comparisons?[/quote]
