Donald Simanek traces changes in grading and education in general, conclud- ing that we are afraid to grade stiffly or to flunk people because this way everyone looks good and feels good. Amen! We have students who can't read or write or compute; however, they have great self-esteem. I hope their esteem holds up well as they find their careers in McDonald's. The United States has moved into a service economy in part due to the fact that we don't have people involved in science and mathematics and engineering - but we feel good!
