>>You have a 4.0 we’ll take off the excessive GPA and make it like a 3.8 or something and then redistribute it to someone who’s struggling in class and may not be able to graduate
>>And give it to those who may not be able to graduate because they um had to work an extra job or what not and weren’t able >>And give them credits uhm your points >>Uhm ya
>>Basically I want to redistribute GPAs from top 10% of students, top earners, to those having trouble filling graduation requirements
>>So your trying to take our GPA and give it to other people?
>>If I do give GPA points to students that don’t deserve it, it just isn’t fair. I work for what I have
>>I have a 4.0, >>You have a 4.0?
>>Ya, Ya that’s an excessive GPA, were going to emulate the federal tax structure and we tax the rich to help those in lower income brackets, basically the same thing, do you really need a 4.0?
>>Ya!
>>No I don’t think so >>Ya? >>No
>>I don’t know about that, cause like what, how do we separate these kids
>>It's for the greater good, a 4.0 is kind of excessive.
>>Do you support the federal tax structure right now where we tax the top 10% of earners to give money to those in the lower income?
>>I do
>>Don’t have the time to study, have jobs, other things going on >>That’s not fair
>>Do you think its fair we have the federal government taxing people >>That’s different
>>Hows that different? >>That’s GPA...
>>Why do you need a 4.0? >>Because I need it
>>People earn their money and use that same argument, its like a selfish argument no?
>>No. >>You don’t think we should tax the rich like the current tax structure
>>Not like over excessively >>I don’t think it’s the same analogy because its grades
>>Do you really need a 4.0? I mean that’s the top 5% of students
>>If you worked really hard?
>>You can still get a 3.5 and make deans list, that’s kind of excessive after a 3.5. >>True, but some people just like taking more away from other people
>>When we take these lessons and apply it to the federal government’s taxing do you believe its right for some people who work hard for their money for the government to take it and maybe give it to someone who maybe possibly doesn’t earn as much because they don’t want to earn as much >>Well the thing there is is its kind of flawed that you put such a general principle and apply it to the federal government
>>Is there a difference between the two?
>>Ya cus this is an indication of performance
>>Isn’t income an indication of performance? You have to work hard for that money to be able to have it >>I don’t know I think this is important feedback. You kind of get it for free.
>>If you can get money for free isn’t it the same thing? You work for your income, you work for your grades and you know some people have excessive GPA’s and there giving more opportunities in life like I said they may not have to work an extra job or two so it’s not fair >>I understand your point, but
>>Do you think the tax structures fair where we tax the rich to help the poor
>>I think that’s fair
>>I mean it’s the same concept right? >>Not entirely
>>Really? >>Ya. >>You sure you don’t want to sign? Its kind of like emulating the federal tax structure like you know how we tax the rich excessively to help fund programs >>I wouldn’t say that’s the same thing at all
>>It’s the same thing with rich people its like after they’ve put together a million dollars
>>But you see the thing with rich people is that our society isn’t playing fair. Some people have more opportunities than other people.
>>Exactly and some people have more opportunities there richer, they don’t have to worry about money, they don’t have to work a second job.
>>But this is speaking about GPA, >>What about the student that has to work an extra job?
>>Exactly >>So its different
>>But you would have to agree to give her those points? Right?
>>No no it would be forced upon the student body. >>Oh
>>So it would be like
>>I want a high GPA when I graduate, I want to go to grad school, I’m sorry.
>>No I mean I just don’t think that’s right. I understand the money version of it. But the educational version
>>Its like the same thing cause you earn both of them right?
>>Its not the same thing cause money’s different
