My take: grade inflation was always an inevitable byproduct of tuition price inflation, because the high cost of college raises the stakes of bad grades.

That's especially true at schools where you incur debt to attend, unlike the Ivies.

Best mental model for averaging up in a stock: think of it as a VC round, and ask yourself -- do I want to exercise my pro rata? Do I want super pro rata?
