@mekkaokereke Suppose every student does excellent work. Should every student get an A? If that happens, isn’t it a •good• outcome we should applaud?
If it happens consistently, should we raise grading standards? If so, does that mean grades should change meaning over time after all — that we should embrace grade •deflation•?
People think they have clear answers until they actually start thinking.
(To be clear, these are questions to reflect on, NOT to toss off an opinion in my replies.)
