Does anyone think they should stop making scholarship foundations for the extremely gifted kids? I do. Shit. Don't they have enough already? How many different organizations do they need to pay their entire tuition because they are really damn smart?
Why not start a scholarship for the outstandingly mediocre kids. Like, "No one else does just enough quite like you do, why not continue to do just enough on our dime?" It could be called the Just Enough Scholarship. Kids do just enough to get by, and then some foundation pays just enough for them to go to school.
Why not an "I think you've got potential" scholarship. Like, "Hey, you kind of sucked it up in high school. But who gives a fuck about high school, I think you've got potential."
So your straight C average stumbled you into the state school, fuck, good for you, here's some money.
How about a "Hey dumbass" scholarship. Everyone forgets about the kids who slept through class or skipped a day to go swimming with some friends, for a week, and still managed to get a high C. Hey dumbass, maybe if you almost try college you'll do ok, here is some money.
"Home work wastes perfectly good relaxation time" Scholarship. So you never did homework, and still managed to pass everything to the fullest extent that you could with a zero homework average. Someone should give that kid some money. Why? Because he/she is smarter than the kids who did their homework and still only got a B.
I'm sick of over achievers.
