I think we only think of HS students like we do because the number of students graduating (that have less-than-average intelligence) is outweighing the number of students. For example, the high school I graduated from received a bunch of money for academic excellence. My High school was rated at like the top 2% of publics schools in the nation for something I can't remember about. I believe this was based on the 2000-2003 school years. It just so happens that those were probably the years where the greatest number of geeks/nerds/smartasses graduated(me being one of them

). Those graduating classes were quite competetive because for example, the top ten GPA's in my class was based technically on a 4.6ish overall GPA (on a regular weighted scale where weighted classes were worth 5.0 points, then you have your regular classes which counterweight that overall maximum GPA) and I ranked #13 with a 4.4333 which was because of a few B's here and there. The following year's (after my class) top 10 consisted of like 4-5 "straight A" weighted GPAs which ended up pretty much being broken down technically into little things here and there which ended up into the hundreths which got their rankings. Kids like the ones in my class and the following year are quite a rare occurance nowadays at that school. This shows you how over the years, the students have cared less and less about their education, or........... maybe these kids are just unable to understand educational concepts now. I don't remember where I was going with all this, because I've been writing this reply within a 3 hour timespan, so yeah, Bleh. Happy Graduations young'ns.
