Blame it on the self esteem movement that became the fad in schools about 10yrs ago. Grades were inflated(even more that previously), edicts came down from on high that grades lower than xx would no longer be allowed, school was supposed to be 'fun', no one should have to 'sweat' for success, everyone takes the same 'exit' exam, it become gauche to have a winner(or real score) at little league, everybody plays at soccer games, sats, had to be curved. It goes on and on. The latest is S.F. schools banning homework for christ sake.
