Similar experience here WWW. Before I left the groves of academe, the remedial classes were bursting at the seams. Universities and colleges, hard pressed for $$, were/are dropping their admission standards and some of the students who are getting in never should be there. Regardless of how impolitically correct it sounds, there was a reason for different “levels” in high school: industrial, general, academic. Different strokes for different folks. The pressure cooker of inclusive education seems to close the door to differences.

Grading is a challenge.
Bell curves make everything worse.
For the world.
