        But by all means we should encourage the field-dependent notion that Trump is a valid POTUS candidate.

        This happens when knowledge like everything else becomes a commodity. Better things matter less http://naveed-rambles.blogspot.com/2016/09/the-price-of-capitalism.html …

        Especially since they don't in college! Let's get them used to what they actually earned in class to stop mediocrity.

        Really, if 40+% get A's, the curve's been gone for quite a while.

        The Curve. Creating a subjective grade that pits students against each other and takes the focus off individual goals and mastery.

        Useless article. If 40% of kids are getting A's it doesn't seem like a curve is being used much.

        Stop grading on a curve? Also stop raising tuition on a whim. Even Steven.
