Being as busy as I am now, I don't know if I'll have the time to post this later, so I'll post it now.  I hope y'all have a safe and festive Mardi Gras weekend!  We have company holiday on Monday and Tuesday so, until Wednesday when I'll be around again, stay safe and warm!

I ate my pancakes yesterday instead of on Tuesday...because I can never deal with the following day of Lenten guilt.  T_T

The more I read about this college/SAT scandal ordeal, the more fascinating it becomes: https://deadspin.com/here-are-all-the-incredible-details-from-the-college-ad-1833236579

Its like if they put their creative energy into just being able to pass the class?  Maybe NCEES needs to run the SAT/ACT!

But we should all appreciate a scandal that doesn't appear to involve politics?

I just can't wait to watch the fallout from it, specifically whatever sanctions the NCAA chooses to slap USC with... again.

(I don't watch the news) - but are they throwing the kids out of the colleges or letting them stay?

from talking to friends of mine back east it is crazy competitive to get into  schools it seems, kids with 3.7's and 1400 on SAT getting wait listed to places like UGA, UF, UT,Miami, etc. One friend of mines daughter didn't get into UGA, GT, or UF, but got a full ride offer to FSU -   I know the schools wont admit it, but I believe they only take a portion of kids from "the burbs' cause they have to take enough kids from other counties in the state- you are better off if you live in a more rural area if you want your kid to go to one of those schools.

I told my daughter to be happy she got accepted at all the places she applied, CSU, CU, and Univ of Wyoming!

Yeah, getting into schools around here is crazy competitive.  I mean, I have a friend of mine who is scared-stiff her kid won't get into the school she wants because she didn't get into the right pre-school.  I don't understand any of this nonsense, but I do hope the kids who got in on the fraudulent actions of their parents get kicked out.

That's an interesting question.  What if you're one of the kids who genuinely didn't know they cheated their way in, like with the proctors who changed the SAT answers after it was turned in?  I think it's a no-brainer for the ones that were knowing participants, e.g. the "athletes".

What a mess. Some may get bounced immediately. Others might leave through attrition when they can't keep their grades up.
