[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended a high school graduation ceremony in flyover country in 2019 and even my senile grandmother noted it appeared the entire school was graduating with honors. Yet if you read the program, seniors in the overall top 25 were undecided, going to community college, and local commuter university. Fake grades are conning parents around the country and  public school boards, admins and teacher's unions don't give a damn.[/quote]

Maybe, or maybe you misunderstood what it meant.  At my HS in flyover country, receiving an "honors diploma" simply meant you had completed a defined set of coursework beyond what was required for a standard diploma.  Anyone who took a reasonable course schedule (English, math, social studies for all 4 years, science for 3, language for 2) received it.  It wasn't a reflection on your grades in those classes, just that you passed them and earned the credits.

Also, don't confuse your single anecdote with data.  Plus, if you looked at this history of those schools, I suspect those college choices were right in line with prior years, so I'm not sure who you think is being "conned" by anything there.  [/quote]
