just wondering if you had any knowledge on curves and stuff...

when people ask me 'what kind of curve is your school on?' i have no idea how to answer. i don't even know what that means.

they, on the other hand, continue merrily, flaunting 'my school has a tough 2.87 curve' or 'i got a 3.24 on a 3.0 curve' or 'the median at my school is 3.20 and I have a 3.93' or something. what does all that mean?
