School Leadership 2.0

There are other alternatives to managing grade inflation.

If grading is rigorous and tied to the content, what the student earns, s/he earns. Limiting A's is ridiculous!

This limit will most likely impact those who deserve to receive an A. A better way would be to instill actual requirements to be met before an A is given. Academic knowledge requirements may be a fair way for all to handle grade inflation.

A competency-based assessment system is far superior to biased letter grades. Harvard should read the research.

Please let smart people fly!!!

If students meet the criteria, they should earn an A. They should not be punished by being surrounded by other smart people.

I just completed a degree at Harvard, and if this were the current policy, I would have NEVER taken courses there.

Letter grades are archaic and meaningless. C'mon, Harvard people, aren't you familiar with academic research? A competency assessment actually means something. There is no reason to compare students to each other - everyone can excel.

Grading must be based upon a rubric. All students accepted under high criteria may be eligible for the highest grades. The work must be done and a fair judgment made.
