Just more grade inflation leading to school being a participation trophy where everyone gets an A+ and graduates.
I see it in colleges too. In business, I no longer accept a Bachelor’s degree. Minimum of a Master’s, and I prefer a Doctorate’s. Seems even the Master’s programs are letting anyone graduate, and many Doctorate degrees are clapping for credits.
I also don’t accept any GPA below 3.78. Anything less is unacceptable since grade inflation means an A just for turning in any lousy work.
I’ve watched colleges give a D- to students that did zero work just to ensure they didn’t flunk out.
I have a sibling who has a math PhD and is an actuary. He said years ago that the colleges and universities will give away bachelors and masters degrees but they won't give away doctorates. I wonder about doctorates now with all the educated idiots running universities.
