Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day : Collegiate Edition
Added 2022-08-16 01:57:43 +0000 UTCWhat do you think when you see this list of colleges, in order?
Brown
Stanford
Harvard
Yale
Columbia
Berkeley
Duke
Dartmouth
Washington
Barnard
A list of America’s most difficult educational institutions?
Nope. The colleges with the highest grade point averages.
Basically, if you show up for class, you get an A.
There are 4,000 colleges and universities in the United States. The easiest A’s are at the “prestige” schools. Six of those ten are Ivy League. All of them are expensive and hard to get into.
What’s wrong with this picture?
What’s wrong with this picture is that the graduates of these schools are the elite class that runs the country—and sees nothing wrong with easy A’s.

2022-08-17 04:04:53 +0000 UTCI see a list of pretentious. 😆
2022-08-17 03:46:11 +0000 UTCSome Drive In history happened at my first college. Shocker filmed at the football field at my 1st of two junior colleges I went to. Mt. San Antonio Collge (aka Mt. SAC) in Walnut,CA.

2022-08-17 00:34:16 +0000 UTCI went to two undergrad universities and both were just pay and grade. When I went to SMU (Southern Methodist Universeity in Texas) for my Master's I was in for a surprise. The school said that 85 and above was passing. 80-84 put you on probation. 79 and below was a failure and you were kicked out and no chance of getting back in. A few years after I graduated they tossed the rule out. For a prestigious and expensive university I was surprised that they tossed the rule out.
2022-08-16 17:25:49 +0000 UTCThe students will argue with you if you don’t give them an A so they at least get some of them with effort.
2022-08-16 13:54:43 +0000 UTCWell, the real test is getting in.

2022-08-16 05:09:31 +0000 UTCI went to NYU and wrote my thesis on Def By Temptation, so I can vouch our cinema studies program was top notch.

2022-08-16 04:54:51 +0000 UTCI was reading that list and I'm thinking one more and they'd have a whole football team. They'll have to settle for 5-a-side at the moment.
2022-08-16 04:22:49 +0000 UTCI kind of felt my jaw clench when I read this, but I can't argue it doesn't surprise me.
2022-08-16 03:29:46 +0000 UTCI'll vouch for Brown. Not only is it in my Backyard but my High School debate league was based out of there. I swear Some of the league staff may have gotten a's by doing nothing🤣
2022-08-16 02:43:00 +0000 UTCEasy A’s for them, anyway. Ain’t nothin easy about this life here.
