USF wants school to explain athlete's grade changes
The student in the picture is an excellent athlete. What isn't mentioned in the article is that his SAT score raised a red flag as well since his SAT score wasn't so high. He got like a 870 score, if I remember it well. The story broke over a week ago and many people know the student in question since his mom who is very well respected mom, Assistent Principal at Thomas E. Weightman middle school and a very good singer. Since so many people know her this story came as a complete shock, first of all since she is the proud parent who liked to talk how well her kids are doing and how he was going to stay close by being excepted into USF on a full ride, and second since she is working in the educational system. The outcome of the SAT is shockingly low and many couldn't understand why he didn't take the SAT earlier and retake it a few times....so maybe a lesson for others. Don't retake a course unless you have a "F" in the course and take the SAT at a young age so you have time to retake it and get used to the test.
