A C is supposed to be an average grade. A person of average intelligence doing an average amount of work should be able to get one. This would represent most people. People of lower intelligence or work ethic should be able to get a D. A D is supposed to be low-passing, so yes graduate with D's, but you don't get to go on to college, fair enough? Same in college, you could graduate with a D, theoretically, but it doesn't look good on a resume.
A's and B's should be looked on as higher achievements, not minimums. If they are you've watered down what the whole grading system is supposed to represent.
I was a mostly A and B student through high school and college, but there were occasions where I earned much less, ( at least one F ).
