At the college level I can only give them the materials they need, the
instructions to complete them and update them of what their grades are
on a weekly basis, what they do with them is up to the

are capable of getting an A?

As my dean has told me, "F" is a valid grade in our grade book.
In short, at the end of a quarter if a student has failed, I have to

So the coach that goes into the locker room at half time and tells his
team, "Hey guys, I know you can do more. We can play harder. We can
block more shots. I know you've got more in you than what I'm

And there, folks, appears the main reserve of those who cannot admit

Where in those statements do you not see Obama trashing America? What
