[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is schoolwork easy? Guess the smarter kids will get all A's then and get into better schools. Seems like a win-win if you ask me.  Also, to the Maryland comment, we love that JR starts 9am. My kids love to sleep in.  I believe the bell is at 7:30 am in Maryland Montgomery County schools.  You couldn't pay me to move there!javascript:void(0);[/quote]

No, opposite is true.  When anyone that does anything gets As then it's very hard on admissions.  Friend's kids who are seniors are finding this to be the case. [/quote]

Also, people forget that once you get in to these "better schools", kids need to be able to do well. If they are not being educated well in high school, it will be a struggle.  It's easier for the UMD grad with a 4.0 gpa to get that first job than a Harvard grad with 2.5. [/quote]

Is it actually possible to rack up a 2.5 GPA at an Ivy League school, with grade inflation, though? You can fail out, sure, but if you make it through all four years and get a diploma, odds are you'll have graduate with honors, no?[/quote]
