During the '60's you could get a draft deferment by staying in school and getting a certain grade average - I don't remember what it was. Students used to come to my father and say; "But Dr. Wiman, if I don't get this grade, I'll end up in Vietnam!"<BR/><BR/>To which he would reply; "With motivation like that, you couldn't study?"<BR/><BR/>The story made me uneasy because I was a very poor student - my reading comprehension is not great and I get things mixed up. I understand what drives grade inflation but I'm darned if I know how to get rid of it.george.whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893495384863805805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851578517872251953.post-3519602508572856632008-05-27T21:56:00.000-07:002008-05-27T21:56:00.000-07:00As always, a tour de force.
