Inflation of Grades??

Some colleges are inflating their students GPA by .333. How is this far to the other students who are competing for the same job and they don't get it because their GPA was lower then the student who went to a college who inflated the grades? I will tell you how. It isn't. The students who work hard for their grades deserve the good grades and those who slack deserve the grade they earned not one that is given to them. This could mean the difference between a 3.2 and a 3.5. There is a big difference there, don't you think?

Other schools are simply eliminating D and F's. The students that go here cannot fail. If they don't do the work and don't study, they will still get a C and pass to continue to go through school. What isn't fair for these students is that when they go to college and do the same thing they did in high school and they fail. They aren't going to know why, because what they were doing in high school got them to pass and continue on to the next grade. But it doesn't work like that in college. You have to do the work in order to continue to go to school and pass classes.
