Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 4539407, member: 7748"] Not certain if you were alluding to grade inflation. Grades are now virtually meaningless at any level of education. I retired after 32 years of teaching at the community college level. Even allowing for selection bias one would expect most people in most activities to be average. Working from that assumption when I started teaching the most common grade assined was a C. The second most assigned grade was a B. The third most assigned grade was a virtual tie between A and D. When I retired 6 years ago 65% of all grades assigned in the district were A This is a pernicious and deeply troubling trend not only in higher education but throughout the educational system. Once again grades are meaningless in terms of intellectual development or even as a measure of learning. The above is not intended to denigrate the academic performance of the Huskies or any other division one athlete. The demands upon their time are unbelievable and as a reflection of their ability to budget time with an extremely intensive schedule that is physically demanding it reflects well on the entire program that supports these young ladies as well as the work they do in and out of the classroom.

Today, that number has tripled—45% of all grades are A’s. The most common grade awarded in college nationwide is an A. Today’s students aren’t smarter or working harder today than in the past—in fact, the evidence suggests just the opposite." [ATTACH type="full" alt="1676652160303.png"]84184[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
