Protect your kid's feelings with fake grades - Rally - 01-22-2016
The sky is falling. Really. I know my opinion will not sit well with some (many?) here, but . . . We are raising a generation of sissies, male and females. Who wants to be in HR when this generation hits the workplace, if they ever do? Goddamn it, the idea is to reward and recognize the best while encouraging the rest, but the latest trends, from doing away with standardized tests, teacher evaluations, and now this, is nuts. No wonder elite colleges want foreign students; at least they can read, write, and add and subtract.

You really need to get out more ... and not get your entire view of the world from FOX News. This is one, tiny Jewish school in Manhattan. It is not any kind of national trend.
The national trend is to MORE standardized tests and teacher evaluations. Elite and non-elite schools want foreign students because they want to expose their students to the world and be an active part of it.
... and nobody wants to be in HR, ever.
