Students and grade inflation

Finished my grading yesterday and was wondering if I was too easy on my kids.  I didn't give out a single C, though I did give out a few grades lower than that.  Everyone else got an A or a B... and yet today I have had more than a few email exchanges with people unhappy with their grades.

Last semester I had a much more normally distributed range and did not get a single complaint.  ???

I dunno, maybe it is a good thing kids care about their grades, but I don't think I ever once complained about a grade I got in college...certainly not one in the A or B range.
