The thing is that there is no point in worrying about it because it can’t be changed. And if a hypothetical college put that much emphasis on middle school grades, why would you want your son or daughter to pay money to go there? I think it would make me respect the college much less if they said “well, this student had a 3.9+ for high school but only got a B (or 2) back in middle school. No school for them!”

I mean, is that something any of us really want for our kids? Don’t we want them to take risks and even stumble early in their education, when they have the support and can learn more from those mistakes? If a college wants perfect robots, wouldn’t that be a miserable place to send them for 4 years?
