Grade Inflation For The Rich
“It’s not that those students have been getting smarter. Even as their grades were rising, their scores on the SAT college entrance exam went down, not up. Nor are those in some schools more intelligent than those in others.
“It’s that grade inflation is accelerating in the schools attended by higher-income Americans, who are also much more likely to be white, the research, by the College Board, found. This widens their lead in life over students in urban public schools, who are generally racial and ethnic minorities and from families that are far less well-off.”
