Usually if everyone gets high scores, a curve isn't used. The curve is only used if most people score poorly to make up for a bad exam or something.

You still "need" people to fail, so

No, you don't. That's not how a curve works, the curve merely improves scores. If a curve would lower scores, it's not used.

Not what they did for us.

Do you have more details? Because I've never heard of a curve being used to hurt students in a class, only to help make up for a bad exam.
