>In its place are honors that recognize everyone who scores at a certain threshold

Yes, it’s called GRADUATING.

Guess, now, even those that *flunk* will be given some sort of ‘award’.

Won’t be too much longer before college degrees will be on the same level as HS diplomas.

High school is there for people to learn to knuckle under to authority even if that authority is abusive.
