[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not inflating when the majority of other schools are doing it is effectively deflation.[/quote] And also when a number of teachers limit the number of As (as in only two students total per class) in subjects that are graded subjectively like English and History, making it result in many students who might also have been doing excellent work end up with a B+ or A- because grading is manipulated to end up in the way the teacher wants it to in the end. Add favoring of certain students in and it is a recipe for disaster in terms of the students feeling pressure to be the best, and work the most number of hours on a paper, etc. it gets over the top. They are no longer focused on doing their personal best but getting the highest grade compared to peers. Not many schools do this, and no it isn’t the same as grading on a curve. That particular structure is school dependent and definitely adds to the pressure the students feel. [/quote]
