Re: Math Help
The whole concept of grades has changed drastically over the generations. A C traditionally meant average. Most high school students would carry a 2.0ish GPA and didn't feel badly at all. A 4.0 was extremely rare and someone actually earning a 4.0 would make the newspaper.
Then our conceptions of grades changed and anything less than a B means the student didn't try. A student who tries their best and completes every assignment now expects at least a B-.
The purpose and expectation of education has changed (for the better, in my opinion).

A meant excellent
B meant above average
C meant average
D meant below average
F meant failing
So the bell curve of performance had the majority of students earning C's.
