[quote=Anonymous][quote]yes he's is completely fine taking tests in school and now that he's in college he literally has a 4.0. So no I do not think it's the "inflated" grading at our high school. I have no evidence to support your argument. Do you?[/quote]

Anecdotal evidence only.  College grades are inflated too.  Most people in higher education are aware of this. Outside of killer CS and engineering and pre-med programs, the expectation is all As.

Personally, n =1, I recently completed a bachelor's degree at UMCP in the social sciences.  I'm a middle aged career switcher.

My GPA on graduation was 3.9.  I put almost no effort into that degree. Spent a couple hours a week at most writing discussion board BS. Did one group project. Took tests that I didn't study for and scored 99%+   Didn't buy the books for most classes.

3.9. Entirely new field for me. No effort.  State flagship university.

My first undergrad degree in the 80s netted me a 3.2 or 3.2, at a different state flagship.  So much harder[/quote]
