<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3035195, member: 71723&quot;]We KNOW standardized test scores are falling, Jim, that is DOCUMENTED by the College Board. SAT, GRE, LSAT scores peaked about the mid-1970&#039;s to early 1980&#039;s. Now, is that dispositive? No. But it does argue against your hypothesis. And remember, back in the 1970&#039;s there were no &quot;SAT prep classes&quot; that everybody went to.</p><p><br /></p><p>Classroom &quot;grade inflation&quot; is presently rampant and endemic, because we simply must keep students&#039; self esteem &quot;on 11&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>The college I attended for undergrad had the second LOWEST average GPA in the entire NATION in the mid-70&#039;s. It was about 2.2. A classical education, with classical grading standards. Dean&#039;s List was 3.0. B&#039;s were something to crow about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
