Today, many students expect an "A" simply for completing all of their assigned work, and a "B" is considered a sign of inadequacy, not of above-average performance. We seem to have raised a generation or two of people who think they're a lot more knowledgeable than they are, who don't seem to know how to recognize what they don't know, and who take offense at the suggestion that they aren't necessarily the best at what they are doing.Pat M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07053851610959429692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974811.post-77598862494511165372020-03-25T23:00:18.139-04:002020-03-25T23:00:18.139-04:00Thank you and all is well with me and my love ones...Thank you and all is well with me and my love ones in Idaho.peppylady (Dora)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01649272822470007714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974811.post-83583426854536534322020-03-25T20:54:18.039-04:002020-03-25T20:54:18.039-04:00This patch of history is instructing and possibly ...This patch of history is instructing and possibly changing us profoundly.
