Grades

The purpose for grades is to accurately assess a students knowledge on  a given subject. I don't neccessarily agree with grades but do think they are required to fairly judge the student's knowledge. Also I think that the 100 point system is good because it is the easiest to use. Without the grading system teacher's could just give bad grades based on looks or if they liked the student or not. I think we should keep the current grading system based on the fariness of the system. Also why change if we already knows it works? All- in- all even if the current system doesn't evaluate all areas of a student's knowledge it still is the best and fairest one I know of.

What Grades Mean To Me:
  • A- Awesome
  • B- Bad Job
  • C- Can't Show Mom
  • D- Dead Walking
  • F- Failure At Life
What Grades Mean To Teacher's:
  • A- Awesome
  • B- Above Average
  • C- Average
  • D- Below Average
  • F- Fail

  1. Alex, you didn't discuss or explain what standards-based grading is. You said we should stick with our current system, but didn't explain the alternative.
