Re: Father/daughter talk...
The analogy doesn't work. In a "Republican" college, the top students
would be able to accumulate unlimited GPA points and use them in
bidding wars to get into the best and most popular courses, whose GPA
point return value would rise and fall with supply and demand.
Meanwhile, slower students would mostly be consigned to low-cost, dead-
end, low GPA point courses such as Introduction to Floor Polishing.
Only a tiny minority would actually ever graduate and they'd be able
to roll their surplus GPA points over to their children as hereditary
degrees.

Maybe those students who aren't at the top should spend a little more time
at the library instead of the pub?
