classmates

Did your African-American classmates affirmatively tell you that they didn't feel like they were treated differently, or was that your own inference?

Started programming on a programmable calculator, with which he made games for his classmates.

As have most of the classmates I have kept up with (perhaps a self-selection bias there, granted).

But, of my family and classmates, only 20% made it out of poverty.

To pick up on the point about positional goods, everyone failing the class actually improves the ranking of [up to] half the classmates.

The points only matter in comparison to your classmates if there is a curve or something and the directions say there is no curve.

Instead, I tried to find porn of girls closer to my age, preferably ones I could fantasize were classmates or somesuch.

Also, how do you know how your African-American classmates were treated?

I memorized every tile of the world, and every tile of every dungeon and would draw maps for classmates on graph paper.

The only time I cared about classmates' grades is when there was a curve.

Your grades are still only meaningful compared to your classmates.

When I went to school, I had many African-american students that were my classmates.

> Because the "points" have no intrinsic value except in comparison to your classmates This is where your logic is wrong.

Because the "points" have no intrinsic value except in comparison to your classmates (unlike a true tragedy of the commons, where the scarce resource such as food, etc, has real value), there is no reason not to roll the dice.

> "points" have no intrinsic value except in comparison to your classmates this would be true if the course was graded on a curve, but the article makes clear that > the course grades are not curved.
