So, yeah. Grade Inflation.
Hmm... I'm with you. I never heard of being better than a 4.0 either until my granddaughter graduated high school two years ago. She was the top Valedictorian in her graduating class. Funny how they work things these days. We're getting old, dude.
We didn't have AP classes when I was in high school (graduated in '85). There was a local community college where we could earn credits for transfer to four-year schools, but that had nothing to do with our high school GPAs. 4.0 was the ceiling back then.
