I can't honestly call myself "anti-woke", nor can I honestly call myself "woke". What a pain. Harping on about either one makes for a dull comment. If anything, I'd probably be considered "woke" by ideological proximity.

What aside from grade inflation explains why those students in the UCSD report had high grades but had to take remedial math class? The schools I went to had some grade inflation, though perhaps it's not that bad. Heck, Harvard loves grade inflation.

Also, what even is the ideological angle here? I'm the only one talking about grade inflation here (well, one other person mentioned it, but surely not to be "anti-woke").

> but haven't ever been moving particularly fast either

Would it be false that education quality is declining even if it is doing so slowly?

> Teachers have always had funny ideas, and haven't broken kids yet

That "yet" is doing a lot of work, and ignoring the present article. A slow-moving train wreck is still a train wreck.
