[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] A recent report found that a majority of grades given out at Harvard were A’s. Professors will vote on a proposal to limit the number to around 20 percent. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/us/harvard-grade-inflation.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share However, there is concern about increasing student stress and competition as a result of capping A’s. This is insanity. If students can’t handle stress and competition then why go to such colleges? Just to reduce student stress everyone should get As.. crazy [/quote] It is stupid. [b]Only the best and brightest go to Harvard[/b]. It tracks that they would achieve. There’s zero reason to artificially impose a bell curve. [/quote] That's only true to a point, given the large numbers of athletic recruits, legacies, and FGLI admits. I'm sure they're perfectly bright, but "best and brightest" should be qualified. More than half of the entire student body getting As is absurd.[/quote]
