We should hold a College-Off with Free Republic
We'll put our college students against their college students, and see which side has the highest average grade point average at the end of each semester.

I think this could be a fun little "war" to have with our Freeper brothers and sisters.



Of course, the freeps will be handicapped because we'll only allow people to submit grades from accredited colleges so that we know that the grades, classes, and educations are legitimate and up for peer review from a recognized board of review.

Which might leave the Freerepublic college crowd with the kids who are going to tech school and a few at state colleges (and not that state colleges are bad - just that they'd be the only ones accredited, cuz God knows the freeps won't be going to legitimate private colleges).

10. What about non-inflated grades from Canada?
I'm on the Dean's List (top 10% of my artsci classmates) and I won an honors scholarship for last year, but my actual GPA is not as good as my friends who go to school back home because Canadian schools really try to combat grade inflation. Is this going to bring us down?
