Though he is, and should be subject to the rules in place when he chose to take a particular class, it is indeed manifestly unfair that a difficult class or program has a cap on the grades independent of actual achievement. An unweighted system where college prep and remedial classes are weighted the same is a similar travesty...especially when the average grade in the college prep classes is a full letter below the average in other classes (as they were in my school).

Maybe, but who's to say that the A+ given isn't a conflict of interest since his mother was the one who graded him? Isn't that "manifestly unfair" to the other students who actually had to work for real bosses?
