<p>What on earth does “entitlement” have to do with it?</p>
<p>There are plenty of highly able kids who were never challenged appropriately K-8 and so never developed the study habits needed to excel when things finally got harder in HS. There are others who continued to not receive appropriate challenge 9-12 who therefore never developed the study habits they needed to succeed in college. Not their fault, and nothing to do with “entitlement.”</p>
<p>There are also kids who suffer from psychiatric issues, health issues, all kinds of stuff. Nothing to do with “entitlement.”</p>
<p>I didn’t see anyone suggesting that this kid was owed success simply by virtue of getting in.</p>
