Grade Inflation

I am all agog to hear the academics' take on the news out of Princeton, an apparent smack down of grade inflation.

Truth be told, I wouldn't care so much about grade inflation in colleges per se, if I didn't think it related to this.

Whingeing Oxford aspiring college students, go fend for yourselves. Face the fact that if you can't earn a 3.5 on merit you really aren't as smart as you think you are and stop expecting 3rd graders in Alabama or Washington, DC or Idaho to grow in ignorance so that you can go spelunking through the dreaming spires.
