grade inflation
definition: Grade inflation happens when higher grades are assigned for work that would have received lower grades earlier, and is usually attributed to lax academic standards and low instruction quality. It can also lead to credential inflation, and makes it difficult to identify truly excellent students. [Source: Sociology of Education: An A-to-Z Guide; Grade Inflation]
