[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grade inflation means your kid gets all A's and doesn't deserve them. This post makes no sense. [/quote] Grade inflation does not only mean all As. It can include As, Bs, or Cs. The inflation is relative to a student's performance. So if a student is really performing at a C-level, but the teacher is inflating it to a B, that is inflation. I have no idea where you devised the definition that grade inflation is only inflation if it's all As. That's absurd.[/quote] That would be socially passing a child, not necessarily grade inflation. [/quote] No, PP is absolutely correct. It’s very bizarre that you think otherwise. Grade inflation is a very simple concept. It means giving kids grades higher than they would have in the past for similar work — that’s what inflation means. This can happen with As, Bs, Cs or Ds.[/quote]
