Paul I dont know where you are getting these numbers-SDSU does NOT give out 50%-70% A's and B's. In a class of 30 You might have 2-3 A's and 5-6 B's. At least 50%+ of the grades were C's. I know, I was there, I can verify that first hand. It was very hard to earn an A-they grade on a curve, and the curve was not 2.9 when I went there. SDSU and NEVER given out 70% A's and B's-where are you gettign this nonsense??? Please post up the link.— January 14, 2011 3:33 p.m.
Full Disclosure at Adamis Pharmaceuticals: Yeah, Sure

If you assume every single grade was a "+" grade (only A, B+, C+ and D), THEN you reach 2.4. If you assume there were also A-, B, B-, C and C- grades, then it drops to about 2.15. ============= State does usethe +/- grades-it is the choice of the teacher to use them or not use them. Most do and it is a far mroe accurate way to grade. The result would still be the same GPA average, 10% received F's and D's, 60% received C's and the remaining 25%-30% were the A's and B's. Yes-I am well aware of Harvard's grade inflation, in fact 91% of the undergrads graduate with some form of honors (cum, magna, summa cum laude) Stanford is also notorious for grade inflation. As a general rule state schools have very little, if any, grade inflation. Harvard and Stanford and many private schools also allow you to "drop" a class right up until the final day and not take a letter grade-just a drop, at SDSU you have to drop within the first 10 days (??), or take a letter grade. In fact I had a party animal friend who went to USD studying for a BBA degree and he took one required class 4 times before he passed, and the first three attempts he was allowed to "drop" the class on the final day instead of taking an "F". That is the difference between a private school and public school. Not all private schools have grade inflation, MIT does not do it. One of the Ivy shcools has a grading system where they post the either the mean grade, or the mode grade, next to the grade the student receives, so a person reviewing the transcript can see how the person did relative to the rest of the class-forgot which school that was though. No grade infaltion atthat school.— January 14, 2011 11:51 a.m.
Wall Street Traders Bring Home Far More Than Brain Surgeons
Founder, we are no longer America-we are a banana rupblic. Our courts are banana republic courts. Our Constitutional rights are slowly being stripped away-little piece by little piece. Add it all up and we are basically no different than the totalitarian banana republics in South America. The leadership has sold the country out-so the minority can become wealthy at the expense of the masses-the poor and middle class. Except we really don't have a "middle class" today. Concerntrated benefits derived from taxes and scams spread out over the entire populace-forgot what they call that but that is what has happened to our country.— January 14, 2011 9:02 a.m.

I agree with John and Don 100%-as do nearly all Americans. 94% of America were against the TARP bailout of Wall Street. These scammers almost wiped out the country and the world by their manipulation of the financial markets-and not a single person has gone to jail. Question for Don-are the big banks still getting o% interest free loans from the Fed?? If so then I think it is time the Fed is closed down-like Ron Paul promotes. That is an outrage if true.— January 14, 2011 8:58 a.m.
How a Trip to Tijuana Changed My Heart
Twenty years later, he is an alcoholic and drug user, they have a passle of kids, and they have to live with his mother because he doesn't work. ======================= 20%+ of CA is unemployed or under employed. Employment is not entirely in the control of the one who is looking for work. Drug problems won't help.— January 14, 2011 8:48 a.m.

On a side note, down the street my daughter and I were charged by a group of three or four chihuahuas and it was extremely frightening. ================= Pit Bulls are great dogs. There is nothing wrong with them and thye are not any more or less dangerous than any other breed. The top three dog breeds rated for agression are; 1- Dachsund 2- Chi 3- Jack Russell Pit Bulls were the most popular dog breed in America for the for most of the 20th century......— January 14, 2011 8:44 a.m.
Brown's Redevelopment Proposal, If Passed, Could Whack Corporate Welfare
Don, you prepare classes-lesson plans-once! You do not do it repeatedly, once they have been prepared you teach the same plan over and over-modify it if thinbgs change-but if you'e teaching English or history and many others they stay the same! Again I as, what do you feel is the proper compensation for a job where you work 37 weeks per year?— January 13, 2011 11:21 p.m.
