[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are kids these days way smarter than kids of our generation? (80s-90s) Every kid seems to have top scores and all As. Whereas, at my rigorous public high school in the mid-90s, regular bright well-rounded kids with As/Bs but not Einstein-level grades, were going to Northwestern, Dartmouth, UPenn, Wellesley, etc. I had strong but not exceptional grades and got into Vassar. Now it seems in order to get into a T30, you need all As and all APs. Am I missing something here? How is this happening? Did this generation produce geniuses? [/quote] No, kids are less resilient, less capable of critical thinking, but good at taking multiple choice tests with obvious answers. Professors want good rate my professor scores. College is just like high school. Set a low bar everyone gets As, let the employers and professional schools sort out the wheat from the chaff. Sad really. [/quote]
