Ouch. Grades are a big deal. I can't stress enough to kids that if you want to play softball in college, that 4.0 is what you want NOW, because it's going to be a lot harder to balance school and ball once you're actually in college. Stress to them that getting a 4.0 in public school is like batting .500 in rec ball, it really isn't that hard. Some kids do have learning issues, trust me, I've been through that. My daughter used to be a D-F student until she learned how to learn all over again, now she gets straight A's and takes honors classes.
The kid in this thread has phenomenal stats. It sucks that our society has such double-standards. If she were a boy she'd have a full ride to the school of her choice if she could write her name in crayon, but that just isn't the reality. Best of luck!
