AVERAGE is the keyword in Grade Point Average
The fact that such a creative genius as STEVE JOBS was a "college dropout" who did not fit into the lowest-common-denominator mediocrity of higher education raises for me a red flag that our educational system of degrees and certification is a flawed sieve that retains the ordinary and unimaginative simply because they have the knack of memorizing everything in an overnight cramming session, vomiting it all back on a multiple choice exam (#2 pencils only, please) and forgetting it all six months later once they have their precious 3.9 A- grade average. AVERAGE is a word that should be capitalized.
