Why do professors scale marks and raise the marks of students that don't deserve it?

Wait until you get in the work place and those former undeserving students are replaced by undeserving colleagues and managers getting promotions or being your boss. It’s going to be a lot more frustrating than the class average being too high.

I plan to remain in academia, so I won’t ever have to deal with idiots who clearly are not competent to do the job they have been assigned.</p>
