Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 4539763, member: 7748"] It's a complex problem but now that the grade inflation is runaway there's no going back. I can recall 10 or 11 years ago having a student come to my office hours to complain about the D on their term paper. Her first comment was I've never received anything other than an A. The product she had turned in had obviously been thrown together the night before and was both incoherent and riddled with errors. Taking her response at face value it's clear that every other educator she had encountered had given up the fight. We no longer have social promotion in our educational system we have social A.
