I honestly think you have to work at failing. I went to one of the schools mentioned. I truly blossomed as a student at university. It took me the first semester to get acclimated to the change from a big public high school to a big private university. But once I figured out that nobody is holding my hand and I could learn as much as I could absorb I took off, I never stopped. I even attended the summer sessions.
At one point in my Junior year I was called into the Administrators office because they said if I continued at that pace I was at risk of being forced out for having too many credits! I never heard of such a thing.
That’s awesome! Truly inspirational!
What I am getting at is let’s say these spoiled rich kids transcripts are full of d and f grades. In my day, that was failing all over the place. These failed students, even though they’ve got their diploma in hand, are going to eventually apply for a job where their transcripts will be reviewed. What employer would want to hire that kind of student? Or is bought college and/or grades another pipeline that needs to be looked at?
You can buy your stupid kid a spot in a top-notch college, but when the grades don’t match up? What happens then?
