Are Modern A Grades Just the New C? Let’s Talk!

Confession time: working in a bustling high school, I’ve watched grades morph into something almost unrecognizable. Back in my day (cue dramatic sigh), an A was a badge of honor—earned through grit or genius. Now? It seems like straight As rain down like confetti, even for students who struggle with abstract thinking or open-ended tasks. Due dates stretch like elastic bands, and writing that barely scrapes by still earns top marks—just for being turned in! Is this a blessing or a curse? Are we setting up our students for a rude awakening in college, or is this just the evolution of education? Maybe I’m missing something—tell me, do you see the same in your schools? Drop your thoughts, poke holes in my logic, and let’s bridge this information gap together! 🌪️🤔 What solutions can we dream up to balance fairness and rigor?
