<p>Extremely interesting…</p>
<p>One comment
really hits home in Georgia. Hope Scholarship pays full tuition for College in GA if you graduate from HS with a B average and maintain the B in college. Our young people, but probably more so their parents, view this as an entitlement and that the high school and higher ed system must maintain B as the new minimum grade. Parents don’t care whether their kids have learned how to write, how to study, or have a passion to study a particular subject/topic. If the final grade in the course is not a B the instructor has failed, and the parent pays the price: tuition.</p>
<p>Where did the educational system make the turn that our students now believe that their grades are about effort, not mastering the material? </p>
<p>We see it in the Library all the time, no initiative to research a topic. A treasure trove of primary source material at their finger tips - too much effort is involved easier to just pull from the internet. They believe that they have worked hard but there is no quality in their effort.</p>
