Today the sweet kid I give private lessons to met me with his head hanging. When I asked him how he was, he burst into hysterical sobs. It turns out that he'd gotten three Bs and eight As on his midterms. He's in his first year of middle school and is now convinced he won't get into a good high school and, thus, won't go to college.
Oh, man. This place is rough.
