[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] In any event, grade inflation is a mixed bag. Kids should have realistic indicators of how much they’ve mastery of the subject they have. But letter grades and forced bell curves are also kinda arbitrary and lead to grade grubbing so aren’t a great system either. [/quote] “Letter grades are arbitrary and lead to grade grubbing.” No better evidence than this discussion. People are mad that there’s a demarcation between A and B, and kids who just exceed the line get a benefit. That is a feature of all systems that try to organize this messy world into neat categories. If you’re going to have grades, someone will always have the lowest A or the lowest B in a class. [/quote]
