The upside of being an indifferent parent.

Does Jeff get “gentleman’s C’s”?

Graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy is not required to become a Navy SEAL.

His grade point average will keep him out of most colleges until he can attend as a non traditional student. Guess where he’ll be living until that happens.

This must be the time The Red Rascal is born. Which just goes to show that a person can be successful without a college education.

Here in Doonesbury, Walden College rolls out the red carpet for anyone with those grades.

The average high school GPA is 3.0 today. You can get into many “state universities” (Fresno State University) -the second tier below the state’s universities(University of Calf. Berkley) with a 2.0. Many “state universities” will accept all who graduated from an instate high school.

You know, a lot of people think joining the military, whatever branch, is their final fall-back option and then they finally hit rock bottom and find out their GED doesn’t work to get them in. I find that sad.

I was a C student in HS, but had superior marks on my SAT. I could’ve been accepted to the business school of our local state university.

I heard they are accepting more white students now

A congress can get Him in, how long He stays is another matter !

Of course they’ll accept him. In the navy you spend all your time at C level.

There are plenty of enlisted Navy Seal slots for those willing to work for them, no college needed

Joanie must be wearing her earrings at the tops of her ears instead of the lobes. Look how high that earring is.

When I was in high school it was possible for kids with a C average or a little bit better to get into a lot of state colleges. In Illinois UI had to accept graduates of Illinois high schools. They did first semester culling.

Good thing you ran away from your first husband and ended up with… this loser.

doesn’t Red Rascal outrank a navy seal?
