This week Willie and his friend Brownie are visiting Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. 
He applied to four colleges; got accepted at four colleges; this is one of them.
Evergreen is one of the 40 colleges listed in the Colleges That Change Lives book (so were 3 out of 4 of the colleges to which he applied).
One reason why we as parents like Evergreen is that we have heard there are no grades at Evergreen.
Boys get worse grades than girls, even in college. The GPA gender gap never diminishes.
The American association of admissions counselors won't tell you this - - a representative lied on public radio about it when I called in to ask.
((Boys also have a higher drop out rate than girls.))
We just want him to learn at college, not be punished.
