Thanks for the kind words. I was a National Honors Society, AP student, played 6 sports, Community Service Corps, and it seemed like everything was working against me. Tale as old as time, all it took was 1 person willing to take an interest in my story and I was his biggest pain in the butt in every class I took of his.

Part of the reason I always have my hand out for anyone who may need it.

Tech and trade schools will be the future if we are being honest. There is going to be a huge whole in the trades within 10 years or so.

Agreed. My daughter is a senior at FSU and will be continuing post graduate.

My son is at UTI in Orlando. He started traditional college classes but just wasn’t enjoying it even though his grades were just fine. He’s loving UTI, gets an associates degree in addition to hands on training. He has been working with Mercedes and on his way to building a career.

Different paths but equally proud of both.

As I understand it, California is developing its own entrance exam. I hope that's not a trend in other states.

California is another country they do everything different and the toughest place in USA to do business

Not really football related, more academic, but this really surprised me.

Wondering if SUS Florida schools will follow suit (UC is typically a leader in many of these issues)

No SAT or ACT

The dumbing down of the USA.
