[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think your premise that kids who are focused from 9th on are the subject of helicoptering is flawed. Obviously, plenty of kids are just hard-wired that way. Why shouldn’t a kid like that be rewarded more than one who didn’t dial it in until their junior year? At most, those late bloomers are then submitting three semesters of grades that they want considered, compared to seven semesters for kids who worked hard from day 1. It’s really a perfect example of cause and effect in terms of college admissions, and that’s a great lesson for all kids to learn. Disregarding records of half of high school would be a huge disincentive for so many kids. Both the driven kids and the late bloomers should end up at schools that are reflective of the work they put in during their high school years. If late bloomers continue their trajectory, they will succeed in life, and that’s the real goal.[/quote]
