Was it not but a couple of days ago that I read on FR that 47% of high school seniors were straight “A” students.
Seems to be some sort of disconnect going on here.
Now I read that 50% of college freshmen cannot understand Algebra.
You also read that the SAT scores are declining. This is the easier SAT Clinton forced changed because black kids were trailing white kids who were trailing Asian kids.
A grades are given out to keep parents from complaining and mean nothing now. The average grade at Harvard is A-. “A” is now a participation trophy.
