What they crank out today suffers from grade inflation. No longer is 'C' the average grade. Kids and parents who pay over 100k for their diploma all demand above average grades. It's not as bad as presenting a diploma from a Caribbean diploma mill, but they're not what they used to be.
- collinmcnulty 11mo agoAgreed completely on this. I almost wonder if it’d be more palatable to add a grade above A, like a Japanese style “S”.
- drnick1 11mo agoThat already exists, it's called an A+.
- Mountain_Skies 11mo agoAmerican high schools are already doing a form of this, with certain classes earning more than a 4.0 score in GPA calculations. 5.0 is quite common now, with 6.0 and even 7.0 scores on individual classes being possible.
- trashface 11mo agoMany games already have an S-tier in class/stats/builds, whatever the criteria is. Would be funny if higher ed ripped that off. Life mimicking art and all that.
