It has been said one aspect that operate valedictorians is that they know how to read a textbook, and are prepared for college because of that. Why is it that most schools, predominantly big state schools known for extra curricular events, propagandize college like a big summer camp instead of respected institutions known for academics. Mainly why do most students at big state schools don’t care/desire for a chance to learn by reading? Does it have to concede with the fact of alumni donations/endowment for well establish academic institutions, or is there another factor?
Does anyone actually say that? Lots of people know how to read a textbook. That’s a pretty nonsensical claim that has very little to do with the rest of your post. What are you really asking…?
Your question makes no sense at all.
Are you kidding? I bet my son who is extremely well read better than most adults will go to a state school. And my d goes to ga tech which is just one big summer camp where students work their behinds off to get a c in a class.
I can’t even understand the point you are trying to make.
The OP makes no sense, so I’ll respond to the title.
In my school. tenths or hundredths of a point separate the top 5-10 kids.
So, no, it’s not about reading, it’s largely about luck. Did you happen to remember the character in the summer reading you did in 9th grade? Were you able to remember the obscure Pythagorean Triple in 10th? Were you at a college visit the day your Senior math teacher introduced a topic, and as a result were a bit unsure of how to work through the problem?
Any of those top 5-10 kids would, could be qualified for valedictorian or salutatorian. It’s not about “reading”-- it’s about luck.
