BELIEF: ACADEMIC GRADES

MAJORS IN A DEPARTMENT GET A'S AND B'S JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THAT DEPARTMENT, EVEN WHEN THEY DON'T DESERVE IT.

Submitter comment: THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THESE GIRLS (FRESHMEN) WERE GETTING THEIR GRADES AT THE END OF A SEMESTER. THIS IS THE USUAL TIME TO HEAR THIS STATEMENT. IT HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY SAID IN REFERENCE TO THE HISTORY, PHYSICAL EDUCATION, AND HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENTS HERE AT PEABODY.
