[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]

NP and you missed the point of that.  My husband is similar to what he’s talking about.  He failed a class in HS, went to community college and then a college no one here has head of and does own a business.  A very successful business.  The grades aren’t the reason. It’s because he knows how to relate to people and is a hard worker in real life beyond school. These are the people who know how to make connections with people and know how to work hard.  They didn’t spend their life only worrying about grades, studying and being book smart.  They don’t care about the best college.  That wasn’t important and neither were grades.  Hard worker and networking were important.  That’s what is left out of that phrase.  They are extroverts. Always.

I had my share of Cs and do not own a business.  [/quote]
