I took Calculus AB in high school and the teacher was notorious for giving students D's and F's because of his teaching style was poor and the exams were difficult. The only saving grace from that class was that you would be given a C if you scored a 4+ on the AP exam.

He still kept his job because majority of the class got 4+'s on those exams, despite at least 1/3 of his class getting D's and F's.

I wouldn't generalize editing letter grades as a way of "cheating the system". There's usually good intentions in every act.
