If only all education was relevant to the real world. Just imagine the student interest.

The South Carolina Uniform Grading Scale is a huge factor in out-of-state student acceptance. Grade point averages are an integral feature of acceptance or denial to college. S.C. uses a 7 point scale compared to out-of-state 10 point scales. Our state has set our students up for failure. An 80 in S.C. is a C on a 7 point scale or a B on a 10 point scale. How are our students to compete when we have unfairly set them up to be non-competitive. This is industry corruption at its finest. Colleges are business industries and will protect the bottom line and their national profiles by manipulating secondary policies. It's all about the money!

The Post and Courier - Schools may adopt new standards - Charleston SC - postandcourier.com

Race to spend more federal stimulus money. Deficit is not a language understood by educrats. I recommend finance education for those in education.

Adopting the new standards could help the state's chances at securing money in the federal Race to the Top grant competition, and it gives the state an opportunity to do now what likely would be required in the future by the reauthorized federal No Child Left Behind legislation, Harrison said.
