There was a comment in another thread about the high occurrence of grade inflation in our High Schools. I agree 100% and am flabbergasted at how many kids have 4.0 GPAs or higher. Is this a result of the "everyone gets a trophy" philosophy of education? I went to a large HS and only knew a few kids with a 4.0. I don't think I knew a single person in college with a 4.0. I was shocked a few years back when I was not he advisory team for a sorority at our local university and learned that many girls had a 4.0. Honestly, these women did not appear to be mental giants!
I hope and pray that my kids have truly earned their grades and will be well-prepared for a university education. I want them to be set up for true success, with all the ups and downs that come with it.
Thoughts?
