<p>Mine is done by year… even if someone gets a B for two quarters and a B on a semester exam, if they get A’s the other two quarters and on the other semester exam, they get an A for the course. </p>
<p>Our grades aren’t inflated; our school system just makes it crazy easy to get 4.0s. The guidance counselors have to send a note (in addition to the explanation of how the grading system works) saying “Please ignore the fact that kids with 3.95s are ranked 30th…!”</p>
