From context clues, I think grade inflation is when teachers / professors giver higher grades to students who obtain lower grades. I am currently a junior in high school and I feel that Plymouth High School and all Washington County Schools practice grade inflation. At the beginning of my junior year, all our teachers inform the students about the change of our grade scale. Our original grade point scale increased by 7, now the scale increase by 10. This means grades that’s 60-69 is not a F, it’s a D. Students and faculty should be concern about grade inflation because it only makes students look intelligent on paper, not in real life situations. Giving students their CORRECT grade will bring motivation and determination to work for an A or higher. Honesty should be included in education. If our administrator decides to limit the number of A’s, will hurt all students who deserve A+ work. Limiting the number of A’s will also cause an impact on the school system and question the teachers teaching habits.
