Grade inflation is a huge issue in US colleges, especially amongst Ivy League schools.

Think about it this way though, who goes to those Ivy League Schools? 90% of the time its because they did well in High School (10% because of donations/parents/money etc). So wouldn't it make sense that the kids who were successful in high school are also successful in college? I mean if everyone in your class is getting 90+ on tests/papers, why should anyone fail?
Compare that to a local community college or state school where the standards to attend are not very high (top 50%) and they received B's & C's in HS, wouldn't they keep getting B's & C's in college?
I didn't go to an Ivy League school, but I did go to a very good school where most classes I had no one failed, and most had B's or better. It's because everyone in the class cares about their grade, studies, and works hard, not because of inflated grades.
