"I know he deserves a B but he could get an A if he tried harder so I'll give him a C to motivate him"

Yeah, I had a few teachers adopting that reasoning. While kids who knew less than I did but were perceived to try harder were given better grades. Surprised pikachu when I started to barely do enough for a D.
