educate Has completely changed.
An integral part of transformation: the value of education.
Decades ago, a high school diploma was considered sufficient academic achievement.
Universities are reserved for the elite and those seeking special skills.
But these days, Even the secretary has a bachelor’s degree.
On the surface, we are a more educated society.
But what if somewhere along the way, the school becomes a place for slackers?
For such a scene, a research team Composed of people from the academic trio—— Brigham Young University, Stanford UniversityAnd Purdue University-found that contemporary graduation rates may be supported by (triggering warnings) “achievement inflation”.
Prior to 1990, the rate of college graduation—especially men—was declining.
But then the numbers started to climb.
Based on published research Education next, College attendance and completion rates “have undergone tremendous changes.”
[S]Students who graduated from high school in 2004 were 3.8 percentage points higher than those in 1992. Federal data, the census, and registration data from 10 public universities confirm this trend.
We are not only fortunate to have more graduates, but their grades are also better.
However, some things are the smell of fish:
What is driving this growth? We have studied student background and academic preparation, as well as support service expenditures and other institutional practices, and found that none of these potential factors can explain these changes. However, one trend in all data sets is obvious: Compared with the past few decades, the performance of college students has been improving in recent years, and the improvement of college performance is closely related to a higher graduation rate.
Other factors that can explain the growth—preparatory high school and labor college participation rates—have been developed in such a way as to predict less Graduation, not more.
It may just be that today’s students have been spoiled.
When analyzing the results, test scores, and graduation rate of a liberal arts college from 2001 to 2012, the survey team found signs of “more relaxed grading standards.”
In the two compulsory science courses, the same tests are provided over time, and even if the students’ grades continue to improve, their performance in almost the same exams remains basically the same. At the same time, the school’s graduation rate rose from 83.1% during that time to 85.9%, and the student’s grade point average rose from 2.77 to 3.02.
The study pointed out that swelling of grades “raised important questions about the meaning of certain university degrees.”
They are not just the whistling Dixie-these are the times Gender studies Considerable.
Although it is good to explore the relationship between structure and crotch, it will make you tickle, but real-world applications are a bit of a headache.
But maybe actual use is no longer an applicable indicator. The best I can say is that the entire concept of school education has been subverted.
As we are constantly being told, what was once regarded as a sign of achievement is just ordinary White supremacy.
Therefore, public institutions are trying to eliminate the evils that have been in place for more than a century.
Therefore, just as the certificate of calligraphy decoration has been turned into toilet paper, education has also been reused.
Related cases:
The professor eliminates the evil of writing rules and beats white supremacy with high scores
In order to combat “systemic racism,” the school eliminated failures and time constraints
More evidence that education is becoming easier:
[S]Re-enrollment after one year corresponds to a statistically significant increase of 0.025 credits, even if we control for students’ scores in the end of course test, the specific courses they take, and student characteristics (including SAT tests), this difference remains stable. …
[S]Students who scored exactly the same in the same final exam achieved better results in the following years. … [O]Your findings have increased over time…showing that it is getting easier to get a degree at the public liberal arts college where we study.
Could money be a motivation? Say it’s not like this:
The recent policy focus on college completion rates seems to be a possible factor in the increase in average GPA. As schools and departments face increasingly stringent scrutiny and…increased funding incentives, they may respond by increasing graduation rates. Changing the acceptance criteria for a degree is a low-cost way to increase the graduation rate. … [G]The graduation rate of public four-year schools and community colleges has risen sharply. They are tax-dependent and may be affected by the state’s performance-based funding rules.
so:
[T]If it changes what is learned in college, it may have the harmful effect of grade inflation.
So, people can now be more educated, but can they be stupid?
This seems not particularly impossible.
And consider this bad data point:
[A]At least one third of American students have not completed (secondary school)…
God willing, Joe Biden There is a solution: University Completion Fund, which one Rebuild better Up to 6.2 billion US dollars per year.
But let’s complete the quote above EducationNext.org; It turns out that a group of college students are just being lazy:
[A]At least one-third of American students do not, even after six years of enrollment.
Maybe 600 million postponed.
The research is summarized as follows:
[W]As the relative return on investment in terms of time and tuition becomes more and more uncertain, both students and institutions should carefully examine the ultimate value of their efforts.
It sounds pretty good.
Even so, if you Do Enrollment, as our new priorities shift, you may make the changes the entire world needs.
However, if you fail to meet the requirements, you will at least get information that can last a lifetime:
The University’s “21-Day Anti-Racism Challenge” allows students to understand “how whites are made”

Speaking of awakening, the university got an A+-no need for inflation.
