#VoiceYourOpinion Is Education handing out too many A's?

Now, he beckons back to a time in the early 60s when about 15% of the grades given at four year colleges were A's. Now that is more along the lines of what you would normally see in a bell curve. I can remember back in the day, tests were graded on the curve in high school and college for myself, which meant that you kind of looked sideways at those kids who got 98s because they were destroying the curve

Are we hurting more than helping? https://s.swell.life/STtchg4e0dPcZn1

There's courses on there I don't even remember taking that. I received an A in so that means for that time of twelve weeks, I put in a maximum effort to earn an A on a topic I couldn't tell you anything about at this time because I've never had to apply it. So, yeah, application comprehension. That's where we need to go. Just my humble opinion of the day. Take care

And so for the kids who are falling behind, either they don't do as well as tests. If they keep doing that, the idea is that they'll increase their grade by showing me competency. So, like, I very much like that idea
