In 2017 the average unweighted high school gpa was 3.38. So an average student gets a 3.38.** Yet half of college freshmen have to take remedial level courses. A 3.0 is now a below average student. The problem is in our feel good, hurt no feelings environment kids are raised in now teachers give out A’s and B’s like candy at Halloween.

Don't discount the fact that it makes the teachers look good too. "I'm a great teacher! Everyone in my class buys in and excels! Just look at those grades! Everyone is an A-student."
