<p>assuming that at harvard its easy to get straight A grades is easy completely devalues the hours and hours of sweat and blood and lack of sleep that students put in to get them. its easy at harvard to get Bs and B+s, but in my experience, to get above that in all courses takes a hell of a lot work and depth of understanding of the material. </p>
<p>also, just becuase the students there are excellent, should the each be punished GPAwise for the acheivements and high level of their peers?</p>
<p>not that it matters to anyone, but working as hard as you can, and earning good grades, and then turning around and having people say ohhh you only got those grades cause your school has mad grade inflation just completely devalues the achievement. and it is one, no matter how much you think grade inflation is a problem.</p>
