Good points, in my country we speak of inflation of top grades. Basically it's become the norm to be an A-grade student and anything below that is seen as failure. It used to be that 1 is fail and 2 is a passing grade, meaning 2 should mean that you've mastered the material, 3 is good, 4 is very good, and 5 is excellent. And today 2 is more like charity, 3 is bad, 4 is ok, and 5 is expected. Ideally, in a class of 20 students, only a handful should ever get grade 5 on a test. But that's not the case anymore, parents demand good grades. So you get all the wrong incentives.
