I had a high school teacher ask me and a friend on the last day of the year, what grade we deserved to get. I said I should get a B as I tried my best. My friend barely paid any attention, skiped classes and failed every test he took. He said he deserved an A because it was harder for him to study than everyone else. She gave me a B and him an A. Guess that should have been a sign. Move ahead 20 years and now everyone wants to help those that dont deserve it and penlize those that work hard.

Just wanted to chime in on this. I'm currently a graduating senior at an extremely liberal university in Northern California. No, I'm not majoring in gender studies (I'm actually on track to become a CPA), but I've taken my fair share of classes with professors that have gone completely off the rails.

During my freshman year of college I was required to take a social justice writing class. In all honesty, the class was relatively interesting and I learned quite a bit about formulating arguments. Similar to your story, the professor sent us an email at the end of the quarter asking us to submit our own grade and to write a short justification. Even though I scored very high on most of the writing assignments and scored very well on the end of the year project, I gave myself an A- to be humble. Guess what...I ended up with an A-.

Now I know an A- isn't a bad grade at all, but after speaking with other people who had taken that class, it seems like she ended up giving most students the grade that they requested. Looking back on this, I should've put down A+. I probably would've gotten it....

Sorry Bob, but this is the way it's going to be until November. And when madam Hillary becomes president the discussions will only get more intense 

I'm not a die hard Trump supporter in any way...but YouOnlyLiveTwice is probably right. Nobody in their right mind will vote for Cruz if it comes to a match up between $hillary and Ted. He's too much of a bible thumper to win. He seems to forget that we live in 2016...people no longer care about Christian fundamental values. Sorry.

Sounds like an excuse to create more useless mnemonic devices... FAA should be emphasizing practical risk management, not the alphabet soup that they've created...
