C more

If you are having serious reservations about your abilities as a student on Planet College, based on mainly getting a C and occasionally not even that consider this.

A national organization whose mission is to place college graduates in to under achieving schools nation wide as teachers recruits widely for students right about now. Their criteria includes a 2.5 GPA. That's a C average. A C average. This organization believes that recent college graduates can bring something to primary grade students that they may not be getting from their current teachers. It also believes the graduates it places can benefit from exposure to an environment which they may not experience elsewhere.

Planet College does not wish to debate the rationale of this organization's philosophy, no doubt its intentions are well meant. Planet College does wish to point out that along with extensive rhetoric about 'exceptional' experience this organization, as noted, requires average grades for consideration as a candidate.

What does this imply? This implies that the essential philosophy of this site, that it is OK to get a C, in fact, that it is OK to get nothing but Cs is valid. The reason is simple. College is an exceptional experience. Average performance in an exceptional environment is regarded back on Planet Earth as suitable for employment.
