I always chuckle on any prospect report, anywhere, where it says "Good student."

Reminds me of when I first joined our local Little League board. At one of my first monthly board meetings, I made the mistake of referencing a player and said "He's a really good kid."

As soon as I said it, in unison, the entire board all said "They're all good kids!" in a mocking way to say that they are all good kids, even when they are not.

When I read "Good student" as the close of someone's prospect report, a little voice in my head says "They're all good students!"
