Despite the best efforts of the academic elite, I expect that your children will eventually rise to their full potential in life if they consistently apply themselves.

Lesson learned the last few years: if your kids go to public school, keep track of their grades or have them do it. Make absolutely sure you know how grades are calculated and if it's fair. In this past week I have found the discrepancies and errors in my daughters report card grades and the school has had to fix it and her gpa rose 5 points for the quarter— if that happens over time that's huge in getting into college and college scholarships, going from a 90 to a 95 because of the school's error. I wonder how many times this happens?
