Transcript:
Nate: Got a B on my math test! Dad: A B? Hm. Well... okay. Nate: What's wrong with a B? A B's above average! Dad: Not in THIS day and age! Dad: Grade inflation has turned what used to AVERAGE work into GOOD work! Dad: That B of yours would probably have been a C just a few years ago! Nate: Maybe so... Nate: But considering the grade inflation you mentioned, the work I did to get that B will eventually be woth a B-plus! Then an A-minus! Then an A! Nate: Give me a few years! By the time I'm in High School, I'll be on the honor roll! Francis: How'd it go? Nate: I aced it!

Dad is right. A lot of schools now have a policy where you can’t get a score of less than 60 or 70 on a test, even if all you do is sign your name.

I was expecting Nate to ask for an increase of an allowance to compensate the inflation of the learning requirement.

Also: a kid…..a particularly cunning kid, might get pencil of the right hardness & shade to fill in that computer-generated & printed “F” to look remarkably like a “B”…..if it’s his report card. Since it was a test, the same could be done with the right color ball-point pen! Yep!! The kid worked Marty’s doofus quotient pretty good that time!!

Nate actually has a pointalso considering marty is always on nate’s case about grades he should lowkey be proud instead of bringing up grade inflation
