[quote=Anonymous][quote]not just that but grades are handed out like candy at some schools in some jurisdictions that want the kids to have high self esteem so these "valedictorians" get into college like say Delaware St. and it turns out they need remedial math, English ... but hey they were valedictorians.[/quote] So very true. What percentage of FCPS make the honor roll? (up to 50% in some schools) What percentage of FCPS have straight As? (up to 20% in some high performing schools) What rational student in this setting will listen to their wise parent and simply blow off a meaningless SAT test for admission to UVA or Harvard? (not many where I live) Peyton Manning is correct. Hard work and preparation is the better road taken to success than leaving things to chance. [/quote]
