These high school students had
extremely high grade point averages, had committed to going to major universities, and had never been suspended from high school.
Considering Eastern Connecticut State College's unique and spectacular history as it was transformed into a
high quality small university under the leadership of President David Carter and others, it is
extremely disturbing that the institution's current president would support the notion that a
grade point average of 3.3 as opposed to 3.0 automatically correlates with producing a better teacher.
