How do you get a 4.2 GPA?
Did he have a A++ thrown in there somewhere or is this the new liberal GPA scale where everyone gets at least a 3.0?
Edit.......found the answer. I am mostly correct. Certain advanced classes or college prep courses can earn the standard 4.0 for a "A" grade plus a extra point for taking the class to total a 5.0. A student could have a "B" or even a "C" grade in their history and still graduate with a 4.0 or greater average of they have enough advanced classes under their belt.

There's this internet site, Quora, where people can post questions and maybe get an answer. Many of the questions are less lucid than "Why is there air?" Some answers are about as useful. But today I saw a jewel that I pass along to you. Below is a total quote:
Semi-automatic rifles have been available for purchase publicly for more than fifty years: why has their incidence of use in mass shootings increased now?
Sabrina Deep, studied at Masters in Anthropology
The truth is uncomfortable, but it's under everybody's nose, nonetheless.
Because education, both at home and school, is nothing qualitatively near that of 50 years ago.
Because parents have given away their authority over children in favor of becoming their "best friends", when not ignoring them completely.
Because people have been stripped off of their natural antibodies against life adversities, replaced by the idiotic micromanaging concept of no adversity, no damage. I'll explain this better. Fell off a cliff? Why the heck there's a cliff there? Well, cliffs are there and so are offenses, failures, sadness and anything else called…adversity. These days people rely on other people's good behavior towards them, while 50 years ago people used to rely on developing their own resilience in dealing with other people's bad behavior towards them. With the ludicrous idea that life shouldn't present any adversities, more and more people resent anybody else but themselves, when those adversities punctually show up; and a desire for indiscriminate vengeance against anyone who represent their social circle surfaces.
This takes us directly to the next reason: the replacement of personal responsibility with tertiary responsibility and the consequent death of personal accountability. It's always somebody else's fault. You get fat because there is too much sugar in pops: let's make them very expensive. You are broke because pops are too expensive: let's ban them. You keep being fat because in order to fight the cravings for the now off-the-market pop you have moved to binge eating chocolate: rinse and repeat.
Rights, rights, rights and then even more rights. An addiction which has diluted the concept of duties almost to extinction. Rights which cannot exist are claimed, presumed rights which harm the freedom and rights of others. An individual right can not harm the rights of others, let alone those of the community. People who manifest to claim more rights, never mention their duties. Duties without which collectivity and society could not exist, and hence there could not be any right either.
To recap, take a man who has been raised without discipline, who has been ignored by family, who faces an adversity which to his eyes shouldn't have even existed, who has been told that whatever happens to him it's never his fault, who has been told that he has no duties, only rights, and give him any excuse to be upset: congratulations! You have just created and triggered a mass murderer. With or without a semi-automatic rifle, because the real lethal weapon here is victimization. Sold by the pound in any media and social circle near you.
So am I the only one who thinks that it's socially and morally incorrect to create and release such a game? I mean seriously... How is this entertainment...Semi-automatic rifles have been available for purchase publicly for more than fifty years: why has their incidence of use in mass shootings increased now?
I suspect crap like this might have something to do with it:

David Hogg is a pathetic and angry young man. What he says, when, where and how, should largely be ignored as what he's promoting is the destruction of a civil right.Hogg (perfect name for this guy) demands $1 million from Publix. How many ways can you say "shakedown"?

You're right, but the fact is he's the media's poster boy right now, and as long as he is, he can't be ignored. Until we get corporate and civic leadership that is willing to not only stand up to these activists but to push back, they will continue to get what they want. One loudmouth activist is enough to make them cave every time. That's what's pathetic:David Hogg is a pathetic and angry young man.

Just like his right to tweet and "die in", the rest of us have a right to keep and bear arms. Even if he doesn't like it... it's called maturity Davey...

Florida Cop Faces Suspension For 'Violent' Anti-David Hogg Facebook Post
Smells like a couple of megalomaniac billionaires to me...Hogg plans summer bus tour.
Marjory Stoneman Douglas students to embark on summer tour
"The students of March for Our Lives, including survivors of the Parkland high school shooting, today will announce a 60-day, 20-state, 75-stop summer bus tour to register young people to vote and to promote gun law reform."
Like, you know the money for this is coming out of his own pocket, right?
here's an idea, get the little Bastid to join the U.S.M.C. to "Make a Man outta him" it would sure cure the whinney little snot right out of him! Might even survive boot and even become a productive member of Mean Greens Machine!
