[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People keep blathering about grade inflation. The implication that kids with “inflated” gpas wont necessarily do well in college (that is the gpa is not a good indicator of success). Yet EVERY kid from FCPS that I know -even the weak ones with truly inflated grades due to retake policies and the like- are not only doing well but have said they feel entirely prepared for college. Not one has flamed out. And before all you statisticians flame me for anecdotes vs. statistics, I’m aware. But those anecdotes aren’t irrelevant either. And this is over the last few years of friends/friends kids. Even the weak students. [/quote] How many of them went into a tough STEM program? “My classes in high school were easy and I did not really have to work hard” is the kid who is most likely to crash and burn (or at least switch to a humanities major) in college STEM programs.[/quote]
