You must read (Minnesota Daily) "A Look at Grade Inflation" in order to complete your initial thread and make your responses.  Please think carefully about the issues presented in this article.

Some people believe that the grade distribution in a class should fall along a bell curve, meaning that a small number get F's and A's, a somewhat larger number get D's and B's, and the majority of the class earns a C.  After all, a C means average, and statistically, "average" means the greatest frequency of occurrence.

Other people believe that allowing any student to fail means the teacher also failed.  These people believe that when students work hard and the teacher works hard, students should be achieving at greater levels than average.  Their belief is that it is the students' job to live up to high expectations, each student should get the grade he or she earns, but that excellence should be the rule, rather than the exception, in education.

Write a defense of one of these views.  Or, if you have another view, state that for the group and write a defense of it.
