The wussification of America continues.
“The ranking of students from No. 1 on down, based on grade-point averages, has been fading steadily for about the past decade.”
Oh, in other words, THE OBAMA ERA.
Mikey will be Keeper of the Keg at his fraternity.
LOL. Is this satire?
So everybody finishes at the same level now? Ain’t that special. No incentive to strive to do better. Screw that competitive spirit eh. SMH!
No more ranking. No more rewards for achievement. Rewards are given for being an “oppressed” member of a poor downtrodden misunderstood victim group.
Rewarding slovenly, lazy, indolent failures is now the norm.
“It has such an impact on them as to how they perceive themselves if you’re putting rankings on them,” she said.
Sometimes perceptions can change depending on how information is marketed.
I am proud to say that I was among the top 95% of my high school graduating class, and among the top 99% of my college graduating class.
Give every snowflake a Participation Award.
Do you think this will lead to an end of those insipid entertainment awards (Oscar, Tony, Golden Globes, et al)?
Me neither.
More liberal hypocrisy.
Why don’t they just give “pass” to every “student” and just forget about attending class?????
What do you call the guy who graduates at the bottom of his medical school class?
DOCTOR.
Great point...
We should pressure the liberal Hollywood crowd with this point...
EVERY actor should be EQUAL!!!!
I love it.....
Because everything built since 1776 must be destroyed so it can be replaced by junk since 1964.
This trend goes pretty far back. Most of the GATE schools gave up ranking in the 70s, you already have to be elite to go, no point to it. Because really at best half a dozen kids care, the valedictorian and the almost valedictorians think it’s important nobody else does. Everybody in my school knew who the smartest kids were, we didn’t need ranking.
If the only reason you’re studying is for class ranking you’ve kind of missed the point.
I am quite certain there is no "thinking" involved with this decision.
You might ask, why aren’t I a millionaire in that case. I can be pretty darn slovenly when needed. ;-)
Lucky for us, as patients, there will be no more bottom of the class. Or top either.
Because in the real world, people are NEVER ranked by accomplishment. /S
