It is true that grades do count, but basically there's
always a college that will accept hs grads even if their
grades are abysmal. Maybe not their first choice, but they
can go somewhere.

Not everyone should go to college. If a kid is doing poorly
in high school there is in general little reason to think
he will flourish in college, with more advanced material
and less adult supervision.

i agree somewhat, but what exactly do you think those kids are
going to do for a living? flip burgers for the rest of their
life? turn to crime?
what if your son decides he isn't going to work in school &
doesn't get the grades for college?
