Grade Inflation
B- the Old C+
By: Charles Giuliano - Dec 20, 2015
Grade Inflation
Brandeis freshman
Worked hard
For that grade
From C+ Earl
Read all the books
Cover to cover
Iliad three times
That semester
Every word of
Don Quixote
At Suffolk
My freshmen didn't
Read that is
Waited for me to
Explain the texts
Relied on Cliff Notes
Assigned a reading
Next class
Passed out Blue Books
Many handed in blank
You're going to
Curve them aren't you
Not really
Try harder
Student complained
Never gotten lower
Than A-
I deserve a better grade
In fact I demand it
Or parents did
Calling the Dean
This is different
College not high school
No problem after that
Shock therapy
Where B- was
The old C+
On evaluations
Got slammed
Lousy teacher
Made them read
Too much
