[QUOTE="Virginia Frog, post: 3319673, member: 4959"] When I was at TCU back in the mid-70s a marketing professor told me an old adage in academia: [I]"Be nice to your A students because they'll come back and be your colleagues. Be nice to your B students because they will send their children back to the university, And, be nice to your C students because they will endow a chair, build you a building or leave a substantial gift ($)."[/I] All meaning that your kid may surprise you big time. Sometimes C students have a mind-set, skill-set different from the other "good grade" geniuses and in the real world can create/produce - often these are the entrepreneurs - outcomes that are unpredictable. This is largely why TCU has an entrepreneurship program in Neeley (and student demand was the seed of this program.) [/QUOTE]
Verification
