The bell curve has bitten my ass a few times (got a 90 but it got me a C), but also saved it (got a 30 but it got me a C). It's weird and I don't like it.

That's how the American grading system works? That's just beyond stupid!

why is that stupid. If the test was easy and a 90 was only an average grade compared to other performance why is that a bad system. Would you prefer a system that allows for everyone to get a 90+?
