“One Solution for Too Many A’s? Harvard Considers Giving A+ Grades. Harvard University has been trying to cut back how many A grades professors give. Now, 53 percent of grades are A’s, down from 60 percent.” NY Times. A classic academic response to giving too many A’s give them an A+ instead of giving more B ‘s and C’s. Everyone is on the honor roll and also have trunk loads of trophies for coming in last place! WIN/WIN.
“Chinese Universities Surge in Global Rankings as U.S. Schools Slip. Harvard still dominates, though it fell to No. 3 on a list measuring academic output. Other American universities are falling farther behind their global peers.” NY Times. Garbage in Garbage out this all starts in High School where parents are overly focused on their kids getting into the best college! Failure is no longer an option so America’s kids are going to learn less and less! LOSE/LOSE.
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
