NOT REMNANTS :
COLLEGE BOARD DROPS BOMBSHELL (CARL CAMPANILE, August 28, 2002, NY Post)The people who administer the SAT exams dropped a bombshell yesterday by suggesting high schools nationally are inflating students' grades.The College Board noted that the percentage of students given grades of A-minus or better jumped to 42 percent this year from 32 percent in 1992.
At the same time, the SAT scores of students with the higher grades dropped.
Gee, and we thought turning education into a self-esteem factory would produce smarter kids...NOT! Posted by Orrin Judd at August 29, 2002 3:26 PM
