One of my friends from high school has considered becoming a cop because criminology is easy. He was always a little chuddy but more because he wasn't that bright and came from a poor background. He was usually well intentioned.

    There's value in not reinforcing the idea that it's about intrinsic, unchangeable qualities, and in particular about inherent intelligence.

    But in typical vernacular this is how people are going to talk about it even if they just mean someone's getting Ds and Fs. And people do get pushed down different paths based on how well they do in certain courses.
