The next semester, the class realized the problems with a socialist type of grading system so they suggested that the teacher grade them on a curve.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on a new plan".
Grades will be given on a curve that correlates with wealth in the US over time.
After the 1st test 10% received A, 15% received B 50% received C, 15% received D 10% received F
no one was really surprised with their grades... the teacher said, think of this test as 1960.
After the midterm 5% received A, 10% received B 30% received C, 30% received D 25% received F
most everyone was a little surprised that their grades had gone down... the teacher said, think of this test as 1980.
After the 3rd test 1% received A, 5% received B 20% received C, 35% received D 39% received F
everyone was shocked that their grades had gone down so much... the teacher said, think of this test as 2000.
After the final only 1 person received A, everyone else received F
no one was really surprised with their grades... the teacher said, think of this test as 2014.
The really funny thing is that there were over 500 people in that class (freshman econ 101).
The next semester, the class realized the problems... (
