[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents of such children are most likely devoid of the skills necessary to access and comment on DCUM.

Is there really a student that gets more than 1 or 2 Bs in high school, outside of private schools?  Serious question, since more than half the students in my kid’s high school graduation class had GPAs of over 4.0   [/quote]
Are you a troll or just naive? The "other half" populates the schools you wouldn't think of applying or joins the military or goes straight to FT work. [/quote]

Either a troll or someone who’s not well read.   Colleges are filled with students who got mostly Bs, some As, some Cs with an SAT score in the middle of the pack at around 1200.  Most graduate and have success in their lives.

This is America.  We are a capitalist society and we have top prestigious colleges, we have state schools that are subsidized by the government, we have community colleges where you come out with a license or certificate with a large variety of well paid jobs.

And the private universities see needs and fills them.  There are universities that cater to the top students with perfect SATs, all APs, great skills.  There are even more colleges that cater to the average good student.  Students with grades of Bs, As, Cs.  SATs that average 1250.

Some kids hate school, gets poor grades and never wants to step foot in a classroom again.   But most kids who love learning but are slower learners and don’t want a fast pace will find one tailored to the.

And your child’s school should be the poster school for inflated grades.  [/quote]

The AVERAGE SAT score is 1030. 
A score of 1250 is 81st percentile!
