Inflated College Marks

A college education isn’t what it used to be. In fact, a high school education isn’t what it once was. You can call it educational inflation.

When it becomes too easy to enter college, you are bound to get a diminution of educational principles. Educators actually dumb down courses, to appeal to a student’s lowest ability.

Also, affirmative action is practiced, and not just for conventional minorities. It is there for any group that is not equally represented on attendance roles.

What is more, schools market themselves by appealing to the baser instincts of students. The idea is to fill the rosters by making it easier to attend.

Students, therefore, tend to wind up in the easiest courses, That’s why so many graduates are unable to find real, practical jobs. Or why we have so many with easy-to-get law degrees and so few who are doctors and scientists.
