[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m really surprised these are the responses of parents with college aged kids. My kid works like a bull and their work is harder than when I was in college (I graduated as a physics major from Yale; they’re a computer science major at Princeton). Kids are expected to do 12x more in coursework and in getting internships, professional clubs, etc.[/quote] The problem is not that EVERYONE is incapable of previous standards. There are still very hardworking, focused, and capable kids at the elite schools, but within the same schools, the bottom has really fallen, and it's really a struggle apply the same grade standards to an entire class. Faculty complain about this broadly. Your kid likely isn't aware because they are not dealing with it and are only aware of their own performance.[/quote] Got any actual data?[/quote]
