[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Gunner, striver, ambitious -[/b]- call it what you will, but it's a thing. It's the opposite of "slacker," which could also be.construed as a derogatory term. IMO, the terms can be useful to differentiate between different types of students. Some are motivated by achieving top grades and participating in activities that boost their applications, while others are not. Sometimes they achieve the same standardized test scores, though.[/quote] Beautiful. Some people think you can change the nature of human behavior by changing the labels, banning certain word etc. Like "unhoused" etc. It's just a mine field out there, no matter what you say someone is going to be offended.
