just did above you
I realize my kids are not anything special academically in this area and in their school. In our house we all realize that and that is why I said I am not starting this thread to try to brag or anything. We are very proud of them, they worked very hard and they will be fine in college
what I was trying to do with this thread is talk about how ridiculous some of this stuff is related to grade manipulation, schedule manipulation, class rank manipulation and admissions into Texas and TAMU. If we lived five miles to the West, South or North they both would have easily gotten in to Texas and TAMU. Because of where we live, they got a fantastic HS education but shut out of Texas. That is pretty amazing to think about
My daughter told me last night there is some controversy in her graduating class Top 10. There is one kid that was in the Top 10 at the end of last year that is a unicorn at her school. He is a white male football player that has been an unusually high academic achiever all of his life. There was an agreement between all of the kids in the Top 10 to limit their online AP classes this summer to basically keep the Class Rankings Status quo going into their senior year.
The other nine kids all broke the agreement and added extra online courses this summer. The Football player kid went from #7 to #12 by the start of the first day of senior year with no hope to catch up and get back into the Top 10. The significance is the Top 10 all graduate on stage, get recognized individually and have their Bios read during the ceremony. Can you guess what parts of the world the kids now in the Top 10 can trace their roots to?
COLD BLOODED.
