Happy Birthday to My Favorite C Student

In honor of his May 29 birthday, I give you John F. Kennedy's 7th grade report card.

Known as "a prankster" (aka "smart ass"), he could be disruptive in class. Throughout his academic career, teachers commented that he was "charming" and "clever," but none of his report cards was cause for celebration. He was, at best, an undistinguished student until he got to Harvard, where he graduated cum laude. Actually his college grades weren't so hot, either. His senior thesis, however, was outstanding, received a magna, and that high honor put him over.

As a solid C student myself, I love this very, very much. Some of us turn out OK.

  2. I had several friends in college that did not do well in high school and they are doing very well, a couple of them are lawyers. They also did well in college. I think some are bored in high school.

  3. High school is boring. GAA and Scouting is the only reason I got through it. I was a A student but still..what a crappy waste of four years.
