This is why things are falling apart. It's not partisan, it's delusions of grandeur stemming from participation trophies. You can't fix stupidity if you think stupidity is acceptable.
Getting to the point that need to ask your doctor which part of the exam he passed maybe professionals should move to a proficiency test -- show me you can do it like blue colour workers
Geography? Most of Our "elected" representatives probably couldn't pass a Civics exam and hate the Country they are supposed to serve (yes, I said serve, not rule).
@mattfoltz7752 They don't know ethics either. The head of the ethics committee didn't pay his taxes for several years. He eventually resigned due to sexual harassment charges if I remember correctly.
The "dumbing down of America" (as George Carlin called it), continues. I remember watching a scene from a Star Trek, the Next Generation episode, where a young boy was stomping around & arguing with his father, "But I don't WANT to study Calculus!". (I was in college at the time & actually failed my first Calculus course.) But I thought, "DAMN! That is SO COOL! Imagine in a couple centuries when we become so advanced our Elementary school students will be learning CALCULUS!" Instead, we are going in REVERSE.
When I was in school, we had to earn a 93 or higher to get an A. It was stupid enough when they lowered an A to 90 ... now this BS??? This is just wrong. 😒
If this still works the same way as when I was in school in terms of letter grades, it's even worse. D is a passing grade. Which can now be achieved if you manage to get things right a quarter of the time. Also, the numbers are set up wrong. There shouldn't be any overlap of the numbers. :sigh:
Dont forget the paticipation trophy... congratz! You got yourself out of bed and showed up... wooowhoo, superstar... now can we please stop rewarding poor performers?
Just today on my Western Washington evening news, I watched a story about our local public schools. 64% of high school students are not reading at age level. 70% of the high school students are not proficient in math. Then then news story went on to have school officials, and reporters cheerfully say that Washington is above the national average!!!
B- was considered 85% and 94% was a B+. At the college I attended, 70% was considered failing in the nursing program. Matter of fact, if you didn't earn 80% out of the class, you had to retake it. In Grade School it was 95-100 A, 85-94 B, 75-84 C and 70-74 D. Anything 69 and below was an F. Jesus wept!
When I was in college studying EE, an 80% for a core class was a failure too. 85% was maybe a failure depending on your competition hoping for limited slots. You also got two grades. One issued by your instructor and one normalized between instructors. The second grade was the one that counted for the department so students that got harder instructors weren’t put at a disadvantage to students that got an easier professor.
I had to go to college for 2 years to get the equalivent of a high school education because from 1975-1985 my school district was experimenting with our education. The last required math class was in the 8th grade, dealing with fractions and decimals. That is now taught in 5th grade.
Lines up well with military life. At my first tech school, if you got a 95 on an exam you were put on academic probation and considered a failure risk.
Dumbing down the generations was super effective to the point that they have to slide the scale this far to hide the fact that the system doesn't work.
I'm glad I won't be around long enough to see the logical conclusion that these new, lower standards will result in. May the universe have mercy on those smart enough to understand.
When I was in college my observational behaviour class teacher did so poorly that they had a scale that was even more lax than this one. They just did a piss poor job at teaching the concepts. So many people in that class understood less than 50% of the subject matter yet got a passing grade for the class. That sort of grading scale indicates that one of 2 things is going on: 1) the person teaching the subject matter is not doing so in a fashion that is effective for the majority of their students, or 2) the students are having a harder time grasping the concepts than their predecessors.
Right on point as always! We are seeing the purposeful dumbing down of our children. It is now more important to “know” your pronouns than to learn to read, right and do simple math. What I’m I missing here? This is now exceptable ? Someone please explain! 😮
I had to take a test to become a grocery checkout clerk that had over 200 fruits and vegetables on it with their codes. In order to get the job I had to get no more than two wrong on the whole thing. Now as I know from personal experience people have little to no respect for cashiers (yes I know cashiering has gotten easier not the point this time lol) and never have. So now we have a whole group of kids who demand more respect but will never be qualified to do any job that doesn’t involve a mop and bucket.
I never even graduated high school. I just got a GED and it never held me back. If this is how they're going to start grading kids, I'm glad I don't got one
🤦♂️ when I was in school anything less than a 60% was an F and even the dumb kids usually managed to scrape by, sometimes they had to take makeup tests but most of the time people advanced the next grade.
Many such as my self believe many have different ways of learning and should be allowed to learn the easiest way to become advanced independently with out being restricted to a flawed education system and after we succeeded we should only do what we are good at in our own dream job doing what we love with ease without causing any hazards or inconvenience.
I blame the status parents who focused more on "My little Bobby or Sally must have A's! And I'll badger the teachers until they quit or give in!" Nevermind they could actually do or know anything. Just so long as they were on the "honor roll." Once those kids find out how much of a disservice the adults did them... It's really a sad day.
I had people assuming I wasn't top of the class as I only had an "A" instead of an "A*". The "A*" came in a few years after I left school. When you mess about with the grading system it really screws up the people who graduated on the cusp of the changes.
Finland has no standardized testing at all and they're doing just fine. Meanwhile the failing airplanes are often built by people who came from the old U.S. system where tests WERE standardized. It's safe to say the problem is quite a bit more complicated.
Schools are very important, but I feel society puts schools before children. Example: Just because my daughter got 1st place at state math in team competition and 10th overall does not mean she wants to progress her life in mathematic jobs. She just wanted to be a store manager or a mechanic. But the schools did not want to teach her brilliant mind such things knowing her smarts in math were off the chart. She was smart enough to know math was boring for her and did not want to be doing that for the rest of her life.
About 7 years ago I did my AAT level 2 accounting at college, tests were set by AAT themselves, for a pass we needed 70%+, the exact same thing in universities they only needed 40% for a pass. England UK.
Put teachers back in charge of education. Administrators are worried about numbers and so they juggle the system to make the numbers look better. Their job is to protect and perpetuate the system not to teach the students. As a result they saddle the teachers with procedures and policies that make it nearly impossible to teach. This is the main reason that next year will be my last year. My intention is to go back to teaching the way I did when I started.
i grew up in the 90s i did play baseball and i don't support the fact every should get a trouphy either earn it or you don't need it. i love both my dad and mom who are Gen x, thank you Gen x for everything that you did to try and help provid ethe best you could for your kids, i appreciate you for it. kust like i am thankful to my parents for their work.
Tbf though, if you were on an apprenticeship, at least back in the 80s in production engineering..city n guilds were basically an auto pass for you. You were way above that level.
@Crunch2327 my apprenticeship was in bookbinding so, not strictly related to Engineering. Although I did learn to weld and use a lathe and mill. My most recent City & Guilds were in CAD.
With this grading I would have had As in almost every topic, except English - still I would have failed English (only had about 25%). Well I picked it up later.
Why can't they just give the percentage. I regular got 85-90% when I wasn't trying, and 95+% when I was trying. There was no need for me to try when we had an Honour/Credit system, and there is no way in the world I am smart enough to design a plane. Yeah, I could learn it, but why should I, just give me the job, I've already proven I am an A grade candidate.
When I was in school the teachers graded by the percent you got right. The A's and such were a cumulative grade of the results in a given period of time. If in one semester you had 3 grades with 90% and 4 with 60% right, you got a D. If you got all but one 90% right, you got a B. To get an A you needed to get all over 98% right.
Don't forget, it's RAYYYCISST to expect decent performance, much less excellence. We must discourage those who make the slow and slackers feel bad! It is soooo unfair to reward those who succeed; we must reward failures instead. 🙄
Damn where were those standards at when I was in school in the 80s and early 90s. Oh wait we actually had to study and do homework among other things in order to earn a passing grade. God forbid if I brought home a failing grade. As the line of a song I heard goes how f'd are we now with new grades like this in our school systems.
What the hell?? That crap cant be right.. I remember when it was 90-100 for A and 80-90 for a B.. But then somewhere they changed it to be 93- 100 and 84-92.. But that crap is Nucking Futs..
Besides the molestation by creepy, sometimes sex offenders, and removal of my wardrobe, THIS is why I won't fly. Personally, I like my doors and wings ATTACHED to the plane.
That's just offensive on so many levels. I could get an 85% in my sleep in everything but math (thanks a lot, dyscalculia). I had to EARN the 97% in the scale I grew up with, which gave me a reason to try. This scale... Just no. I would have been even MORE bored off my bottom and disgusted with things as I was.
My friend is a college teacher (professor, for those not in the uk) and has been told to teach her A level students the stuff we learn in high school. It's the system that's failing not the teachers
Aside from the dumbing down of the standards, how can 84% be both the top of the B range and the bottom of the A range? Is it up to the teacher's discretion of whether they give an A or a B? Seems a little subjective...
I mean...if you make tests harder and include top end questions that go above what they expected to know to find the super A kids- then yeah, this could work. But...I don't think that's what this school is doing.
Evidently I'm older than most of you Our grades went down in 5% increments. Pausing at C for 10% then 5% for D. It looked like this A - 100 - 95% B - 94 - 90% C - 98 - 80% D - 79 - 75% 74% or lower was failing
Okay, okay I'm miffed...We had to do way better than that or literally get left behind. Wasn't no runnin' to mom and dad complainin' about the work or the teacher or the lesson you were expected to do and turn in by a certain time. Keeping your grades up was your responsibility. No Pass, No Play kept us on our toes. Made us do the work, and know what the subject was about. Now there is no history, no civics, and apparently math is racist? Wow! Talk about reaching. We may be feral but nobody gave us an A, we earned them by actually doing more than just showing up. I knew No Child Left Behind was a dud when my kids never brought home a single text book it was always some tired worksheet.
My problem was the % between each level. If you get 84% correct, is that an A or a B? 🤔 The one who made that grade system might need to redo math class.
standards left a long time ago just a bit after the 80s when you could get higher than a 4.0. what is higher than straight As. Just take a look at any games tier lists. you have you normal A through F but that's not good enough. So they add a S and SS. So why not mess with the lower end of the scale? Also I moved from a large city to a very small town. In my old place it was a very rare thing if one or two players went to state every few years. However in my small town of under 2000 people it always appeared that every year 10 players were off to state. Hell my own daughter went 3 years in a row and well lets just say her performance would not even have her on any varsity team from my childhood.
Lower passing grade instead of paying good teachers well, firing bad teachers and putting more money into the learning system........... M y br ain cells err di ing
Surprised by the punchline. Don't think i've seen that on this channel yet. Fully agree though. I'd rather a "pass" be at the 60 to 70% mark instead of 50% or less. Now, for the individuals who have a documented case of some kind of learning disability, that could be an exemption to the calculations.
This is why things are falling apart. It's not partisan, it's delusions of grandeur stemming from participation trophies. You can't fix stupidity if you think stupidity is acceptable.

No, a D is a passing grade
What!😮😮😮😮😮😮
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!!!!
What do you call a Med Student with a D- (25%) in this new system?
Doctor.
Let this sink in, Dr. Nick from The Simpsons is now a "B" level Doctor.
What happens to 90 to 95% to pass no grade just pass or fail
Surprised by the punchline. Don't think i've seen that on this channel yet. Fully agree though. I'd rather a "pass" be at the 60 to 70% mark instead of 50% or less. Now, for the individuals who have a documented case of some kind of learning disability, that could be an exemption to the calculations.
