The problem with school boards
Political scientist Vladimir Kogan says school board politics often reward adult priorities. He explains why culture-war fights and off-cycle elections can leave students behind.

One of the worst outcomes of grade inflation is that it discourages students pushing themselves. College should be about taking a class that's a bit too hard for you, or in a field you don't know much about... but the risk of a B when so many get straight As is real. Safer to stick to what you know.
