If we switch to this system, won’t everyone get an “A”? In this episode, we tackle the myth of grade inflation in standards-based grading. We unpack the true role of grades when they are connected to learning, not compliance, and explore what actually changes—and what doesn’t—when schools shift away from traditional averaging and point systems. You’ll hear why SBG doesn’t lower expectations, how proficiency is determined, and what evidence really says about rigor and credibility.
