When it comes to academic performance (ACT's, etc) we have no middle ground. We have more 34's on the ACT, but more 12-15. We don't have as many low to mid 20's. It is the same with GPA, AP Scores, etc. The ole bell curve is inverted. Strange.

Any thoughts as to why? Maybe Covid separated those who had support at home vs

Covid had a role, but it started before. Grade inflation is one factor.

My kid thinks college is much more rigorous. He's studying abroad.

My kids had zero consequences for not doing their homework, not studying

The HS doesn't allow late work, no retakes, and you need a 3.0 to play sports.

Yeah that has little to do with "schools"

Doesn't matter who is at fault. Students are learning there are no consequences

Respectfully disagree. If we want to fix the problem-need to identify the cause.

I’m not a teacher, but a big part of it is that kids don’t want to have traditional careers anymore

If a professor doesn’t allow laptops during class they deserve to be thrown in prison.

How do you prove AI use? Now, I think it is easy to spot, but who would turn in

This is tricky. Most universities use some version of copyscape to scan for AI.
