WHY would it be despicable? Certainly the A students would not object, but those who received C's or D's could be seriously hurt: they may think (probably falsely) that their colleagues are laughing at their "stupidity." Professors, administrators and parents may have a need to access a student's grades--ie. grades are not confidential in the strictest sense--but there is no point in needlessly hurting people's feelings by subjecting them to what they may regard as public humiliation. --Dylan
