[quote=Anonymous]This has been a debate for a while. Back in 2013, a student wrote for the TSL that... [quote]I don’t find such arguments convincing at all. If you find a laptop more affordable now than 10 years ago, you would say, “I have better purchasing power!” rather than, “I am getting a worse laptop.” But when it comes to grades, do you blame the grading standard without considering our hard work at all? Many professors at Pomona would tell you that they don’t curve grades. If your work is of A quality, then you get an A. They are not making us lazy. They are making us responsible for ourselves. They give us As because of how good we are, not how terrible others are. [/quote] After one of her peers wrote an article pleading Pomona to get rid of the grade inflation and begin failing students. Today, the article writer is an angel investor and ex-PM for meta, and she was combating Saahil Desai, who's a well-known editor for the Atlantic. So, really, for products of grade inflation, the students come out pretty successful and continue to climb. [/quote]
