[QUOTE="AlabamaBuzz, post: 92318, member: 906"] I agree, but I will say with our current societal atmosphere of "what will you do for me?", these special young people are harder and harder to find. We must recruit nationally and aggressively to find special young people who want and can handle the rigor of GT and playing "big boy" football. I tutor many young people, and I see just how "dumbed-down" so many of them are. Our grade, middle and high schools are not getting through to them, and a lot of that can be traced to the disintegration of the family unit. Relatively few kids and teens today have the kind of parents and teachers with the very high expectations that are needed. I realize that saying this on this board, most won't understand because if you are a Tech grad or associated with a Tech grad, this is probably not your experience. But, it is what most young people are experiencing. Teachers can teach and try to motivate, but if the kid has no one in their family that really cares about their academics, he/she is likely not to be educated well enough to be ready for a place like GT.
