                        I had a teacher who believed the same thing, such that test scores were
                        given relative to other students. If five students got a perfect score and
                        one student missed one question of hundreds, he would automatically get a
                        B by virtue of not being in the top 10% scorers. There were students who
                        literally failed his class with work that would've been consider B-quality
                        work. How well you did in the class was entirely dependent on who else was
                        in your class. Needless to say, he wasn't a particularly favored teacher.
                        He caused people to drop out of computer science. He caused people to drop
                        out of COLLEGE.
                        
                        Competition for something so universally required as success is not just
                        detrimental, it's cruel.
