What Has "Always Been" Won't "Always Be"...
AOL -"Per Minute" internet Use
Blockbuster-"VHS, DVD, Laserdisc, and Video Game Rentals"
Palm & Blackberry -"...at one time, your only REAL choice for a smartphone"
Wireless Carriers - "Metered Minutes & Unlimited Data" (it's reversed now)
Fuel Stations - Pumping Fuel THEN Paying
Wal Mart - Was shoulder to shoulder with K Mart, Zayre, TG&Y, McCrorys, Target, had REAL customer service and did not sell groceries other than snacks, candy, soda and one small cooler for eggs and milk
Internet - Mid 1990's was considered a hobby for a select few and was deemed unsuitable and totally impractical for commerce due to the logistics of securing payments and overall transaction security.

>>Public School Grading - 94% was the lowest "A" and anything below 70% was Failure
Not sure when you went to school, but when I went to school:
95-100 = A
94-80 = B
79-70 = C
69-60 = D
59-0 = F
The scale didn't vary much from that in college either.

Then in that case, you will be appalled, my friend.
I have a 12 yr old, 14 yr old and a 23 yr old (graduated 5 yrs ago)
the scale is now...
90 - 100 A
80 - 89 B
70 - 79 C
60 - 69 D
0 - 59 F
My children attend a private school and have for many years as a direct result of the apathy displayed by the public school's teachers and administration and the ineptitude of the school board governing them.
It was my decision to live in Central Florida, so this is my measure of damage control to ensure my choice as to where I reside is of minimal impact to my children's education.
