My secondary school was extremely biased with giving grades

When I was in secondary school I noticed that between years 7 and 10 there were a couple of examples of teachers giving higher grades in certain subjects to students for no reason other than that student being viewed as more gifted or as a top student

Here are a couple:

I was put into the lowest set for PE and we did a entire term of work on leadership and creating our own group activities. I worked extremely hard and my teacher was very impressed with the work i did and told me I had a gift for it. I got the highest grade in my class which was a 5c. In the set above mine there were 30 students and the lowest anyone got was a 5b and most got level 6s (5b is better than 5c). The kid who got a 5b refused to do his final task properly and just pissed about and turned up to only 2 lessons and somehow he got higher than an entire class beneath him that turned up and did all the work

In drama we got put into several groups and these were made according to our expected grades. My group was the third group who were all expected to get level 4s, where as the top group were expected to get level 6s

In the end we made a 10 minute long performance in my group which our teacher said was her favourite performance and the head teacher who came to watch them all said it was her favourite too. The top group did a 4 minute long performance that was okay but didn’t get as good a reaction.

In the end our group got all low level fours whereas the top group still got level 6s, including a guy who literally had 3 lines in his whole performance and spent the whole thing pretending to drive a bus

Dunno if it’s just me but this all seems dodgy as fuck
