Thread: Fair and equal distribution of grades

The problem with good colleges are that they are capitalist. Smart people will always get turned away if there is a rich kid applying. Do you really think George W Bush would have gotten into Yale if his grandfather hadn't of be super rich? I can't imagine him getting more than a 900 on his SATs.

If you spread out grades too much, it lowers the value of a diploma, from any school. Kids are supposed to be able to flunk out.

That does happen, but it is the exception and not the rule. There are zillions of multi-millionaires who would love to send their kids to Yale (for example), yet Yale remains a school for supergeniuses. Bush might have had strings pulled, but I am not sure. He is not an idiot, just a terrible speaker.

Prince Charles went to Oxford with a C and a D or something. Fucking appalling.
