After the American Indian Public Charter School turned around and began turning out educated students they had one young lady who was offered a full ride scholarship to Stanford.

Her parents were thrilled, her principle less so. He told her bluntly that she was not ready for such a school and should wait and study for another year to prep for it.

She did and after she graduated she told him that he was right. If she had gone when the scholarship was first offered she never would have been able to do the work and would have dropped out.

You have to have the proper foundation for a high powered collage. Having only the potential will result in a waste of your time and theirs.

So true. and some kids just don’t operate at those levels.

Rather have a successful child at a lesser college than a struggling one at a prestigious college.
