Grade inflation does no one any good. Teachers deal with enough from parents without needing to try and argue why their child doesn't, in fact, deserve 95% instead of 75%.

The only way I can see forward is to improve the push back against parents by the school board/administrators so the teachers feel they can refuse without the parents just going around them and getting what they want.
