[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The A students work for the B students, the C students own the businesses, and the D students dedicate the buildings.[/quote]

As a parent of a C/D student, I find it really condescending when this is posted on almost every thread about getting Bs. My student is on the edge of failing out of college and has no job prospects and no trust fund to buy companies or dedicate buildings. But keep telling yourself that your A/B student is so disadvantaged because they're smart and successful. [/quote]

Yeah, I mean, the first PP is right, but also a huge chunk of C and D students are not crushing it and struggle through. So I wouldn’t encourage my kid to do that.

We aim for building a good work ethic and good grades but also focusing on people skills. There is a huge group of kids who have really leaned into technology and do not get out of their comfort zones. If your kid isn’t like that, they will have a huge leg up in life. Forget college, that will happen; I’m more concerned that they can be awkward and find a mate, find happiness. The next generation is going to struggle with that - they can just avoid everything and be online. [/quote]
