[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, if your kid wants to get good grades in college, they will have to do some work. Does that make them a grinder? Depends on the major and ability to handle the load.[/quote]

NP: I think of grinders as students that treat college like a job (e.g., prestige, ambition, money) and present as pre-professionals. I think that is different than someone who is smart, nerdy, or a geek that earns good grades but loves the topic or loves to learn. Nothing wrong with both, but I see the populations as different.[/quote]

Your perspective is pretty obnoxious as many kids don’t have much of a safety net after college and they need to be focused on landing a well paying job after graduation. They might be pre-professional out of necessity. Why label them negatively. [/quote]

Because it’s just no fun for naturally bright kids, who’ve been dying to meet other bright, intellectually alive kids, to get into a selective school and find out that most of the other kids are a bunch of boring, dutiful robots.

Your post sounds like it was written by a teen.
