Hmmm, I’m developing a theory.

Although our kids were sent to classes opposite their interests, there were kids in the class that were matched with their interest. Like the physics wiz mentioned by @TexasHunter , my son also described a couple history buffs in his class. These guys were well versed in history, from Julius Caesar to JFK, from the Civil war to the Viet Nam draft. They pretty much monopolized the classroom discussion.

So, my theory is, Trinity already picked several “likely winners” and assigned them to the classes that match their interest. The rest were assigned to classes opposite their interests. So if no surprises, the chosen ones will do well and win; the unchosen ones will lower their expectation since they didn’t do well in the classes and responses, so when they don’t win they are not surprised.

Make sense?
