      Think something like this has always been the case in the U.K. no idea about the US historically

    2. Covid did this. I remember being told we couldn’t fail anyone. Now we literally cannot fail anyone.

      Wow, I’ll say this again. At this rate, I have a very good chance of never retiring bc kids coming into the job market are gonna be as dumb as a rock given the lowering of standards.

      Trying to get that equality of outcome instead of equality of opportunity. Gonna need more Brawndo.

    5. In my head I associate:

      A with 90-100
      B with 80-89
      C with 70-79
      D with 60-69
      F with <60

      lol, this is a screenshot from Dr. Phil using a Facebook post as its source. We should all accept this as fact and lose our minds over it!

    7. When I worked in education, I was told by higher-ups to not give 0s for any assignment. So even if a student did literally nothing, I was advised to still give them a 50%, as to not significantly impact their overall grade.

    8. Stone cold B student right here!! At least by this measure….that’s good right?

    9. Kids aren’t learning and this is a bandaid to get them by. Teachers advance through curriculum whether kids get it or not. To me, it’s more important that the kids get it. Don’t move on until you’re seeing actual A’s and B’s. If you have to teach the same lesson over and over then that’s what the kids need.

      From what I remember you could pass classes with a C. So now what that means is you can understand and regurgitate back less than half of what was taught the entire semester to still pass. 

      It’s like at this point the teacher just turns around after an hour of class and says “Did you get any of that?”

    11. Bro the kids are so fucking dumb, and millennials are also getting dumber by the day. If you need evidence open social media.

    12. If I remember right, my school was

      A- 100-93
      B- 92-85
      C- 84-78
      D- 77-70
      Anything below 70 was an F

    13. the top student of the most garbage school is not the same as the top of the best school, with tougher competition and higher standards. so you got an A from a school that just fast passes everybody to vomit them out of the system asap to unclog coz theres a shit ton more kids to process beyond capacity. what is that really worth…

    14. I coasted through school with minimum effort. Got D’s and C’s. Under this system I’d be a “B” student…hmm.

    15. It really does seem like a race to make America as dumb as possible. Real life idiocracy.

      When I was in school anything below a 65 was a fail. Some classes were 70. Working with younger people I can tell you a lot of them seem much slower than other generations. They can’t grasp onto simple concepts at work, ask the same questions over and over with no seeming will or way to retain the info for answers. Their work ethic is horrible, slow at doing their job and many are on intermittent LOA for things like anxiety so they work less than half the hours they are supposed to.

      I have friends who are teachers who all tell me how awful it is. One is elementary in a lower income area school and tells me how overcrowded their classes are and kids just don’t care. The parents don’t care about the kid’s education they just view public schools as a form of child care. Also policies suck and school districts are making things like the OP posted, not holding kids to expectation of learning. Just passing them no matter what.

    16. I graduated from Baltimore Polytechnic Institute in 1990. With the grading system u posted, I wouldve made honor roll
