Schools in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) are "handing out higher marks than ever before."
This is according to a recent Toronto Star investigation into grade inflation. It asked: "Is runaway grade inflation holding top students back and setting others up to fail?"
The Star found that data indicate "Grade 12 averages are on a steady slope upwards and the number of kids entering university with a 95+ average has exploded."
This question had me recalling summer media reports about "top scholars" graduating from schools in the GTA with average grades of 100 per cent.
