[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you not send her to a regular college?  3.0 is a good GPA.  How sad you cannot give her a chance, if you can afford it?[/quote]

Depends on SAT score. I'd recommend a gap year before sending a student with a 3.0 off to a university.[/quote]

You must be joking.  A 3.0 is a B average.  What planet do some of you live on?[/quote]

:roll: You get a B average just for showing up at most high schools. 50% of all high schoolers have an A average (3.6+ GPA).

For kids who struggle just to pass HS classes, this is one of the most insensitive and ignorant things I've seen in a long time.  Fortunately, this is a small percentage of kids.  But, no, you don't get a B just for showing up.  [/quote]

I have a child with LD who works his ass off in middle school because he thinks he needs As. Because this type of thinking is so rampant in our area, he is very upset to get Bs. Yet often a B is a true accomplishment for him. It’s certainly not “given” to him. He’s going to HS next year and I worry for him because I know this sort of talk will be devastating.

I want him to go to a 4 year college but I have prepared myself from day one that he might have limited options. It pains me to hear about people judging kids for choosing what they consider less selective options. [/quote]
