No wonder young Americans feel so important 1/2 finish high school as A students

Report by company which sells tests that are less predictive for college success than the GPA tries to dissuade people about the usefulness of GPAs. Film at 11.

That is, film at http://curmudgucation.blogspot.com/2017/07/did-sat-unmask-gr... . As one of the things it points out, the original report at Inside Higher Ed says "But during the period studied, SAT averages (math and verbal, 1,600-point scale) fell from 1,026 to 1,002.", but that appears to be well within the margin of error of 60 for the SAT.

Meaning, it's a meaningless difference.

"a" students should be "A" students.
