The president, in a press conference that lasted little longer than a half-hour, repeatedly played off his own image as a poor student, noting that he likes to remind people that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has "the PhD… I'm the C student," he said, but look who's the leader and who's the adviser.
Now that's an outrageous.
So he is saying you don't need to work hard in school, having a C can actually be better than those who got PhD.
What is that No Child Left Behind thing? isn't it supposed to encourage students to do better? But this comment is exactly saying the opposite.
While that statement can be absolutely true, your boss (and your friends) were probably a poorer student than you but make much more money and in control more.
It takes much more than academics to "succeed" in real life. Ok, it also depends on your definition of "succeed."
But this is POOR influence on students.
This is not encouraging kids to learn, succeed in school, and go for the A marks. Grade marks buys you nothing, but it is something to aim for. It can be a stimulus to learn. Having a B or C is not the end of the world either, kids.
America do not need such comments. American students need to work much much harder in language ability, math, science. Future America need educated intellecutals to run this country and to face the problems of tomorrow.
The PhD is the advisor because the shameless C student leader is outrageously incompetent.
