Either high school is easier or….


OK, this little item really isn’t a shocker….

….but I think we should try to make sure that truth doesn’t become boring or irrelevant.



Were you an “A” student in high school in the 1960s? If so, you weren’t lost in the crowd. In his online New York Times offering on May 6, David Brooks mentioned that only about 1 out of 5 high school graduates who went to college in 1966 could boast an A or A- average.





A recent UCLA survey finds that 53 per cent of college freshmen have high school grades in the same range.

Now, sure, there ARE a lot of smart kids out there….but college freshmen in general just didn’t get that much smarter in the last 50 years, y’know? No matter what the report card says….
