bring back the “Bell Curve” for all grading
DEI hiring makes even correct grading nearly useless.
grade inflation was inevitable as soon as woke policies demanded colleges start letting in blacks who were not smart enough to get in on their own. Because otherwise, they would have simply failed immediately, and the college would have been accused of failing blacks disproportionately.
I would rather hire a foreigner without grade inflation or DEI than an entitled American with grade inflation or DEI. If that upsets Bannon or World Net Daily, so be it.
This is so rampant in the Ivy League that most of them Don’t accept theory own undergraduates into their post grad progr a Ms because they KNOW the student and the school have collaborated in a fraud.
WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL—_THRU HIGH SCHOOL—ALL GRADES WERE BASED UPON 100 POINTS, ETC.
WHEN I ATTENDED NIGHT SCHOOL FOR ACCOUNTING 11 YEARS LATER-—STUDENTS—YOUNGER THAN I-—ASKED IF THE GRADING WOULD BE “ON THE CURVE”. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT.
TEACHER SAID “ON THE CURVE”.
MYSELF & ONE OTHER STUDENT “BECAME THE CURVE” THEY HATED US. WE GOT 98=99 CONSISTENTLY. I LOVED IT.
Folks are under the misapprehension that colleges exist to provide an education. This is false. They exist to vacuum up money from the US government through loans and from foreign governments through full tuition for foreign kids, thanks to Obie from Nairobi - in return they provide a credential that might or might not lead to a job. Actually grading student work would interfere with that process, so they stopped doing it - can’t vacuum up more bucks from kids that drop out, after all. Besides, who cares if a gender studies grad actually knows anything useful - not that hard to pull the handle at Starbucks, after all.
