Is an a still an a the truth behind grade inflation?

An a is still an a, even if more people get them, it’s like when everyone gets a gold star, but the gold star doesn’t suddenly become a sticker.

Imagine you and your friends are playing a game. At first, only one person wins every round, that's like getting an A. But then, everyone starts winning almost every time, that's like grade inflation. Even though more people are getting As now, the A is still the same kind of award it always was.

Sometimes teachers give out As more freely because they think students deserve them, it’s like giving everyone a gold star even if not everyone won every round. But if everyone gets a gold star, then the gold star doesn’t feel as special anymore.

It's not that an A isn't an A, it's just that more people are getting them now. It’s like when you and your friends all get cookies after dinner, the cookie is still a cookie, but it doesn’t feel as special if everyone gets one every time.
