[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 738539, member: 198"] We saw grade inflation in Georgia with Hope Scholarship coming in. That's why they had to modify the program and create the Zell Miller Scholarship level. Too many kids were meeting the minimum requirements and there wasn't enough money to cover all that. To that, I say "shame on you teachers that inflated grades. Shame on you administrators that pushed the teachers to inflate the grades." All this being said, I have never thought gpa was a great metric for identifying who will be successful at university or in a job. Give me the guy with a 2.8, co-op experience, and a broad exposure over the 3.8 gpa that puts on blinders and gets the academics done. As for college admissions, there are tons of ways to evaluate prospective students that are more meaningful than a standardized test that has proven built-in biases. [/QUOTE]
