[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think grade distribution or the “curve” is a good measure of whether there is grade inflation. At publics that you test into and privates that you apply to, the caliber of work being performed by students or test scores may be higher by far more students because the schools have selected students who performed higher on tests and in previous grades to get in. The kids are also self-selecting in that they chose to go the school and generally have the support and motivation to master their academic subjects. So, if 60% of the class score a 95-100 on a math test then there is no reason they don’t all get As. [/quote]
