My dad once explained to me how communism works and why it fails. A teacher decides that from now on on assignments he is going to add up all of the grades and give the students the average no matter how they did. The kids who did good on the test are upset because they got a bad grade due to the dumb kids who didn’t even try on the test. On the next test they don’t try because they know that it no longer matters and get an even worse grade. Eventually everyone stops trying.

Fucking what.

Isn't this what grading on a curve is? Like a really shitty explanation for an utterly normal capitalist thing?

No, grading on a curve is kinda more when you assign the grades based on how you did relative to everyone in the class and the actual scores on the test don't matter.
