Students, Parents, and Teachers concerned about inflated grades and Equitable Grading may be interested to read this report.

Many may have noticed:
- schools abolishing class rank,
- policies which prohibit grade retention (failing or flunking or being held back, when a student remains illiterate and/or has not learned the material for the grade level),
- lowered academic standards, and
- other indications of the lack or rigor and accomplishment.

These practices, policies, and procedures tend to create a ceiling, thwarting the progress and development of gifted pupils.
