[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50% of American high schoolers ha r straight As. DCPS is only giving As and Bs this year. They dropped Cs and below from the grading scale entirely. This is going to make very student even. [/quote] This will cause more colleges to require remedial classes to help students who got an "A" in English in HS but clearly can only write at a 5th grade level. Acceptances will become almost like a lottery, and admitting those students who cannot hack it in higher level institutions will hurt everyone.. These students should be going to community colleges for remedial classes, then transferring to 4 yr universities. By no means do I think that we should not help these kids, but pushing them into situations in which they are not prepared for is doing everyone a disservice. They should replace the SATs with something else, like maybe a test like cogat or something.[/quote]
