USAA having a "catastrophic" IT meltdown
Posted by anc on 10/19/26 at 12:19 pm
Unrelated, USAA fired all of its American workers and replaced them with H1B’s.
Do you know why?
An assistant principal went to his truck, grabbed his pistol and put it to Luke’s head and stopped the thing while he was reloading.

California high school football team forfeits game after 200+ students walk out over the team captain posting "Free the Cornell 7.”
LINK
An anonymous cheerleader parent told the Press Democrat that the captain who made the post was not allowed to attend a team dinner that took place Thursday, but did not know whether he faced any other consequences.
The walkout comes during a week when many protests took place across the country in response to Cornell’s alleged botched investigation into the rape allegations that have become national news. They happened in cities such as Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Seattle, Boston, Baltimore and Orlando.
As for the football team, the Prospectors fall to 2-4 on the season after the forfeit, and 0-2 in conference play.

re: Mississippi State, Kentucky, Missouri. Pick one to make the playoff

State would have to beat Ole Miss. if their second loss is Ole Miss, the way we do things in college football, recency bias would knock them out.
Missouri-Ole Miss winner looks really good for the playoff.

Polls say Mizzou, Kentucky, State.

New White House Press Sec

Katie Zacharia was almost aborted.
30 minutes before her scheduled abortion appointment, her 19-year-old biological mother received a call from a Christian counselor urging her to place Katie for adoption instead.
She was just selected to be the new White House Press Secretary.

Lots of vague stuff on X. Something about Baylor Medical Center.

I find it a It’s a bigger problem when comparing grades from certain schools against others. My son has to bust his arse to get a 3.5 at Jesuit. It makes you wonder if it’s worth it. I could send into an abundance of other New Orleans schools that are pretty well respected and he could have a 4.0 with little to no work.
Exactly. I watched the stress she went through being a two sport athlete taking AP and Honors classes. That B was one of the highest grades in the class - and the school is rewarding students who took the easy route. I have voiced my concern, and the principal agrees, but their policy is to not weigh classes.
This is what I really hate. Her overall average is 96.25. They rank all 4.0s first, then go down. So someone she knows that has a 4.0 in easy classes with a 92 average is ranked above her.

When she applies to college it will pay off. Class rank means nothing except for in law school and med school.
Definitely. She knows it. Just disappointed.
In Texas, you cant get into UT/A&M unless you are top 10% of class. There are literally kids that transfer to terrible high schools their senior year so they can graduate in the top 10%. Doesn't matter what your test scores are or if you can even read. Top 10%= guaranteed admission.

Grade inflation in high schools
Posted by anc on 10/8/26 at 1:30 pm
Grade inflation in high schools is a real problem. I just saw a thread on a scholarship post where a parent posted their kid's GPA. 3.76. Several AP classes. Pretty solid along with a 30 ACT.
Except they were in the third quartile in their class. 359th out of 569 in the senior class. Essentially in the bottom 37%. The parent said that 240 students had a 4.0 GPA. It's hard for me to believe that an average high school has that many 4.0 students.
My youngest is a high school senior. Works hard - things don't come as easy as they did for my oldest, but she has a 3.99 GPA. She made a high B one semester in an AP class. She just got her class rank back - 90th out of 390. She feels dumb. She has a 28 ACT, and she has classmates with 16-18 ACTs peacocking around because they are in the top 30 taking easy schedules.

My daughter went there, got a great education.
Its probably the only P4 school in the SEC footprint that students had to be be bribed to go to games. Free chicken biscuits, t-shirts for every game, etc.
The student body just does not care about athletics. They do have an interesting "ratio" though,.As my daughter and her friends always said - "The odds are good, but the goods are odd."
