Dang Brent... that sux... I certainly have mixed feelings on the whole situation... I grew up in rural Kansas... mine was a class of 32... I graduated with a 3.7, scored a 30 on the ACT.... and never studied, never cracked a book. I never had to, I just absorbed the stuff... then college came around.... and punched me right in the face. I had NO study skills, no study habits. The game and the rules changed. I got out of there by the skin of my teeth. I was one of those kids that probably got more scholarships than I deserved. The numbers made it look like I earned them, but in reality they just happened. I was a waste of money to be honest.
You won't change the system. Be proud of her and what she has accomplished. She obviously has the skills that I lacked and will be VERY successful in life. At the risk of swelling your head I will add that I think she has had a good example of what hard work and perseverance can do. My guess is that this will be an unfair life lesson that she will also glean much education from.
Congrats again and best of luck to her.
