> Grades inform potential employers where a student's strengths and weaknesses are. As a potential employer, I would prefer to know where the student landed relative to their peers rather than an absolute score. Maybe in addition to the absolute score we could know the students percentile score in the class. It's not impressive to get an A at Harvard, all that says is they aren't in the bottom 21% of the class. Being in the top 10% of the class is impressive.
