He used "whilst" and "reckon" in the interview. I guess his language lessons are going well.Masanosuke Ono Interview: On Comeback, Penn State, Folkstyle, 2028 LA Olympics

UWW interviewed Ono at the Meiji cup in Japan this past weekend. It’s a pretty funny interview
Learning to speak like a Brit… AND like an Appalachian!
Grade inflation, Harvard was giving out "A" to 60 % of the students. They just made a policy to cap A's at 20%.
At both the high school and college level, GPAs up and standardized test scores down https://www.wsj.com/us-news/education/grade-inflation-education-test-scores-40196419.
What is funny is that was my exact takeaway from that interview. I thought that was great! Haha
Don't ruin this for me.
Grade inflation? Harvard accepts the best students in the world. It is not unreasonable that a large percentage would earn A grades.
Naw. It was grade inflation for sure.
Harvard accepts some of the best students in the world, others get/got in with far less credentials but because of immutable characteristics.
Maybe just maybe people are better educated now.
Why the impulse to diminish Ono?
Nah. It's grade inflation. Test scores are in a "generation-long decline."
Wait, what; since 2010? Undeniable data that standardized test scores have dropped while grades have gone up, but "better educated"? Many of these elite universities have started (since 2010s) offering remedial courses, for the first time in their history, for these incoming freshman with perfect GPAs. UC San Diego, the #6 ranked public school in the country did not even offer remedial math until a handful of years ago, now ~12.5% of incoming freshman are taking it and 40% of those taking it had perfect high school GPA https://www.forbes.com/sites/annaes...-eight-freshmen-lack-high-school-math-skills/.

We had a kid who graduated valedictorian and an award as math student of the year. He couldn't do freshman calculus. A friend of mine tutored him in math his entire freshman year. The kid had all kind of intellectual talent, but his math grades in HS were falsely high.
I'm certain almost everybody with kids or in academia has similar anecdotes. I fall into both camps and have stories for days. Empirical data also provides significant evidence to back up what we are all seeing.
Damn, maybe if they would have graded me correctly I would have been closer to a D student.. Bastards...
Yup. About as helpful as a “wow” post with no context during a match thread
In the interview he mentioned having one year of eligibility. Might make sense to push it to next year, not sure they need him this season.
Not skeptical at all. There's absolutely no reason to rush him into folkstyle and then he also had the, not make weight, issue. Sounds like he put on the freshman (American) 30.
Based on my interactions with these people, I’m going to say that’s not the case. It seems people are getting dumber by the minute. And AI is only going to accelerate that. JMHO.
It has been many decades since I graduated HS, but I had to work my rear off to barely get Bs in adv trig, calc, chem, adv chem, and physics. In college I had to study those subjects a little, I got 1 B and the rest As and I know it was because I had to work to understand them in HS. Grades were earned, not given.
You’d think in a world of AI that a translation with any reasonable context would get a little closer to language we’re used to seeing …
So, you'd think, and I can't speak directly to the situation. But, it looked like the interview happened while action was ongoing, which means background noise including PA announcers, crowd, coaches, whistles, probably music, etc. We run into these issues sometimes, mostly with football, and even some pretty solid tools get very confused.
…if you assume they’re being taught the same material as every other student across the country
