[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I say good for your DD.  There are so many studies about men getting paid more than women for the same work because (1) men ASK for more more money, unlike women, who are taught not to ask for more than they are offered and (2) they apply for jobs with higher salaries than they are technically qualified for, unlike women, who if they can't meet the written expectations of the  throw their hat in the ring.  It is the way the world works. [/quote]

Sadly there are also studies that show that when women do similar things to men they don't experience the same benefits. [/quote]

What’s your point?  That mediocrity and fake grades need to be equally accessible, valid options for both genders?

I would be so disappointed in my son if he told me he had grovelled for an inflated grade.  Whether or not he got the fake grade would make no difference: OP is doing her child no favours in the long run.[/quote]

I was responding to the point the PP made that the reason men make more money is that they ask for more and apply for jobs they are not qualified for.  I was just noting that experimental studies show that when women try to do the same, they are not rewarded like men are.  I wasn't saying anything about the grade inflation point (I'm against grade-grubbing like that).[/quote]
