fake GPA's


            When I read over the articles for this week’s class the one about grade inflation really stuck out in my mind.  I don’t think this is a good idea, I believe it is cheating to add points to your students overall gpa’s.  It is just wrong for some colleges and schools to do it but not all.  Just because they want to put their students ahead of the game isn’t fair to the rest of us who don’t get that advantage and have to compete with schools like that.  This means for us competing with those students for the same jobs we have to do extra well just to get slightly ahead of their game when they already do not have to anything to improve it.  It is an unfair advantage just because they can pay to go there doesn’t mean that they deserve to receive higher grades than normal students.

  
If this is implemented in some schools it should be implemented in all schools. Just because you pay a higher tuition doesn’t mean you can cheat your way into the work force.  This will also make the students think that they don’t need o work as hard as they did.  Just because they will automatically get higher grades so they wont have the intuition to work as hard as they did.  It makes the students become lazier.  This will in turn make it seem like they don’t have to go to class to earn better grades so they will have no motivation to want to learn more and better themselves.
