"You're Inflating My Ego!"

            3.0? Check. Same classes as everyone? Check. Changed the teacher’s mind about my grade because I felt it was unfair? Check. Will someone tell me who made this “To- do” list? It seems that almost every student have a large share of similarities in their academic history, now why do you think that is? Now in my class we talked about how does grade inflation affect us in our individuality, apparently we agreed that it debases the term “out of the ordinary” as we start learning consciously and unconsciously to not do as much work as the hard working students only because the teachers are suddenly curving their test grades and changing grades. The laziness is easily spreading out but how can you even blame the students when these teachers are becoming more and more gullible and vulnerable to students who strongly demand a better grade for honestly no reason. It has become a cycle and the cycle only gets worse as the cycle only keeps boosting the student’s ego to never be wrong and to reject and deny the accusation of having a bad grade even if they know they’re doing average work. There’s been a study about college students to prove that they have become far less working then what generations before have done as it quoted “This would mean that today the amount of work required of an undergraduate student is similar to what a high school student needed to accomplish 40 years ago.” if you want to read the article here it is “Data suggests that college students are getting lazy.”
