I would be willing to bet if the NCAA gave him a test on Algebra III lessons that were learned, he wouldn't make above a 40.

Off topic: How many kids graduate high school at a 3rd grade reading level?

This is even more off subject but once again as a reading teacher I know.. Do you know that the US government and the US Bureau of Prisons project how many prisons and beds they will need in the future based on the reading level of third graders? Crazy isn't it?!?!

Especially considering that where I went to school in Knox County Schools, The core curriculum for college prep was only up to Algebra II

I have an advanced degree partly because I had a teacher who realized I had an avenue through baseball to get my bachelors degree and eventually get my head on straight. I thank him every time I see him. And I'll promise you he wouldn't apologize and would tell hypocrites like you to shove it.

I don't know about Knox County, but there are a number of area school systems that only number Algebra up to II. The higher level college prep courses get creative names like Advanced Math.

Sorry, you'll have to go in to more detail, specifically the bold section, if you expect anyone to be able to form an opinion. Otherwise, this heart-warming story is irrelevant.

Bledsoe didnt go to Kentucky because of their low grading standards. His admittance into UK not only gave Bledoe an unfair andvantage, it gave the whole basketball tewm an advantage.

I am a teacher. I do not do this but some of my colleagues will give a student an opportunity to re-work missed problems and will give them 10 points to do so, or so many points per problem missed. I do not know the extra credit policies in the school district he attended nor the grading scale; but, if that was the case, and it was a high c, raising it to a low a is completely feasible. That being on the standard grading scale.

Yeah and that would be a perfectly credible reason for his grade to have improved. However, as the report says that the teacher was unable to come up with any credible reason for the change to his grades.

ncaa, alabama hs assoc., and bham school system have all cleared the situation. when Eric's grades were so low, he was living in a car people. he was homeless. some of ya'll may make fun of that, but imagine being 16 years old and having no home to go to. eric, and kid's around this country everyday, are lucky to have teachers who care enough to let them do the extra things to try to get them in the place they need to be to be successful. it happens with non-athletes too.
