I am hoping someone can help me understand this a little better. My high school junior works really hard to get good grades and came home very upset about a curve the teacher gave. He said "I don't know why I even try". This curve apparently takes the square root of the grade and multiplies it by 10. So, his 96 got bumped to a 98. Someone with an 84 gets a 92 and so on.
Can someone with an education background please explain to me how this is at all fair? Isn't this basically socialism? I have never heard of this and it seems like a great way to demoralize students who bust their behinds.
