[quote=Anonymous][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]

but isn't your experience anecdotal too? and really what does all of this matter in the real world? Can you tell me that there are certainly people from these inflated grading schools that are out there failing in their careers? Most of the time, people fail in their careers because they are not able to learn and are not hard workers, not because they did not get 98th percentile in the SAT.[/quote]
