[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If more than half the kids in a class get an A, there is grade inflation. And yes, I understand that there is grade inflation everywhere. Everyone gets a trophy.[/quote] But if the grades are inflated for everyone, there are still students that stand out because of superior work. If everyone get an a then the top students will get more than an A. [/quote] Nope that’s the problem with grade inflation, it masks the truly superior students.[/quote] Truly superior students shouldn't be trying to stick out via grades in the first place. The place for them is academic olympiads, etc.[/quote] All of those places ground to a halt during Covid. And testing was not existant and very very test optional. So, what were the 2021 grads left with? Grades. All A's for so many students. Volunteer work. Essays. In person performance at academic events as 9,10, and fall 11th graders. [/quote]
