the boolean is set to false by default,, but everything I input, even things that wouldn't make it true, the output is always as if it is true.

Because recieveGrade is set to false by default, you can treat your recievedGrade in the if statement as "false". If the user inputs "no", response.equalsIgnoreCase("yes") evaluates to false. Because false == false, it goes through with the if statement as true.
