<p>Nice to see that you lack basic reading comprehension. Thankfully you don’t list your school affiliation in your info or people might make ignorant comments about you as well.</p>
<p>I didn’t say “underachievers”. I said “low achievers”. An underachiever does “less well than expected” (according to dictionary.com). Not all low achievers are underachievers… in fact, many of them are not. Please do not put words in my mouth (or on my keyboard).</p>
<p>The fact is that an IB Diploma caliber student in a non-IB class will not be with his or her academic peers. Comparatively, the IB Diploma caliber student will be in a class of low achievers. If a student that belongs academically at a top 100 school, and they go to community college instead, would you tell me that the student is among his/her academic peers? No, you wouldn’t, because the student is taking classes with low achievers. There was no insult to anyone in my post. Please use your brain next time before you launch in with the personal attacks (that are against the terms of service).</p>
<p>btw, in high school I did all my CAS hours, and at W&M I volunteered hundreds of hours of my time at the local elementary school (to help low achieving students) and gave up my senior year spring break to do hurricane Katrina relief work. I also worked with AmeriCorps where I got paid $10,000 for the entire year while I was helping run tutoring programs for low achieving (really… they were low achieving) students. So I think I do ok with the humanizing thing.</p>
<p>Thanks for your concern.</p>
