Here is my two cents, changes in the grading system led to grade inflation and the supers loved it and fair enough who wouldn't but doesn't that make them complaining about how more changes will lead to a drop in grades, hypocrites?
I don't want anybody to think I am defending the system we have in place because I think its horrible, I just hate hypocrisy even more.
The supers should be fighting to junk the whole system, not to make self serving changes here and there, because anything less than that is tacit approval of a failed system and our schools and kids deserve better.
