High school grades just seem to be fake at this point.
My kid and his friends, who graduate this year, never had homework, yet they all have 90%+ grades.
When I was growing up, you might have had one kid in the class with over a 90 in any given subject, and they worked their ass off every waking hour.
Now? 20 minutes of 'work' a day and they're acing the class. This doesn't benefit their future at all.
Maybe teaching has gotten better and so has the means of productivity? If you look at the productivity of corporations, it's gone up a lot over the past couple of decades. I imagine that can have the same effect on students and teachers. I've got nothing to back that up but it's an interesting thought.
That's a nice thought, but I know that's not what's happening. Even during the pandemic the online classes were extremely basic and still no homework was given.
