[Leaning Right]

Back in my college days, I had to take a course in educational psychology. There were approximately 200 students in the class.

After the mid-term exam was in, the professor posted the grade distribution. Results: No E's. No D's. One C. 199 B's and A's.

You would never see such a distribution in, say, a calculus or chemisty class.

There are many morals to this story. One of them is to never trust anything that comes out of a university's School of Education.

I used to teach and I had to take that crappy class (along with all the other crappy classes in the education department). 199 of 200 SHOULD make a B or an A in that course. Then again, given the students who major in education, there should likely have been more Cs.

The Ivy League schools would like for you to simply assume that if they are Ivy League students they are the best, and grades are not really relevant.
