[quote=Anonymous]Entitlement is the order of the day. It's what's given us grade inflation, to the point where grades mean nothing. Then there's test prep, where for one day, the product of a $3,000 SAT prep class can get a high enough score and pretend like they really know the material just as well as someone who's truly absorbed it through over a decade of learning. Not to mention the abundance of costly tutoring because, with grade inflation (see above), simply getting an "A" is not enough. You have to get an "A+" in your AP Stats class to stand out, now. Finally, there are the parents who are convinced (misguidedly) that you can only attain success (usually measred in financial terms) if you go to a Top 20 college. It's an unhealthy mix that's driving our kids crazy.[/quote]
